Frame Colour
Black (Artist’s Choice)
Why This Works
A Black frame acts as a natural extension of the dark cosmic background. It anchors the piece and makes the red of the Blood Moon appear even more intense and luminous.
The Vibe (Bold & Immersive)
This is the "Deep Space" look. It provides a sophisticated, professional finish that feels like a window into the universe.
Wood
Why This Works
The moon has an ancient connection to the Earth’s natural rhythms. A Natural Wood frame grounds the celestial imagery, making it feel warm and connected to the home.
The Vibe (Grounded & Ethereal)
This creates a "Natural Balance" feel, perfect for rooms with plants and earthy tones.
White
Why This Works
A White frame provides a sharp contrast that makes the entire composition "pop". It highlights the white lunar surface in the later phases and feels very clean and contemporary.
The Vibe (Modern & Graphic)
This creates a Gallery-Style look, ideal for modern apartments and minimalist interiors.
Artist's Nudge
To truly honour the "Total Lunar Eclipse" and the depth of the 2018 Blood Moon, I highly recommend the Black frame. It allows the deep teal and coppery red tones to be the undisputed stars of your wall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the July 2018 eclipse so significant?
It was the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting approximately 1 hour and 43 minutes in its total phase. This was because the moon passed through the widest part of the Earth’s shadow.
Is the teal background a real photo?
It is an artistic interpretation of the cosmic void, using high-definition textures to represent the gas, dust, and stars of our galaxy. This creates a more vibrant and atmospheric setting for the moon phases than a flat black sky.
How vivid is the red on the moon?
We use a 12-colour Giclée process that specifically handles high-saturation reds and oranges. This ensures the "Blood Moon" phase looks as deep and luminous as it did on the night of the event.
What is the "Blood Moon" exactly?
It is a nickname for a total lunar eclipse. The red colour happens because Earth's atmosphere bends sunlight and projects it onto the moon, filtering out the blue light and leaving only the red tones.
Is the frame glass or perspex?
We use shatter-resistant UV perspex. It offers the same clarity as glass but is much safer for shipping and protects the vibrant teal and red pigments from fading due to sunlight.
Will the matte paper affect the detail of the craters?
No. Our 200gsm museum-grade matte paper is designed for high-resolution fine art. It provides a velvety finish that enhances the crisp details of the lunar surface without any distracting glare.
