FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.


Botero's The Bathroom, painted in 1989, is one of the artist's most celebrated canvases. Having exhibited in more than fifty cities worldwide, the artist's figurative, larger-than-life reproductions paintings sell in the millions of dollars. Blending the figurative with the abstract, Botero's forms and proportions are based less on lived reality than intuitive thinking. The one theme running throughout his diverse body of work is the proportionally exaggerated figures and forms which many simplify to the description; 'fat'. Most importantly, Botero is a painter of contours, as the artist explains: "I create my subjects somehow visualizing them in my style. I start as a poet, put the colors and composition down on canvas as a painter, but finish my work as a sculptor taking delight in caressing the forms."
The Bathroom is comparable to his 1976 painting Pear, a still life of a dumpy pear that seems to bulge ominously towards the borders of the frame. Botero is a master of the illusion of positioning voluminous objects is tight spaces. However, it is everything in his paintings that are oversized, it is an art that suffers from an aesthetic bloating, reflecting an overfed culture full of itself. Botero aims to transmit sensuousness through forms. His forms have what one might describe as an uphill ascent, a challenging conceptual space for the viewer's eye to ascend. In all its bare glory, The Bathroom is a vidid reproduction of a delicate, fragile figure, clumsily dominating her surroundings without intending to. It is a poetic canvas that meditates on the presence of personality and the contested site of the body as the location of meaning and identity.
