Framing the Unexpected: A Limited Edition Banksy from Glastonbury

This week, another truly special piece made its way through our doors. We had the honour of framing a rare and controversial gem from none other than the elusive street artist, Banksy.

Recently, at Glastonbury Festival 2025, a series of unassuming £20 artworks were quietly being sold. Hidden within one of these pieces was a limited edition Banksy — a subtle, cheeky, and politically charged work that reflects everything we’ve come to expect from the anonymous provocateur. Word soon spread, but only a few lucky buyers managed to get their hands on one.

One such piece ended up right here in our studio, brought in by a local customer who recognised its uniqueness and wanted to preserve and enhance it for years to come.

Elevating the Unconventional

With a piece this bold — both in origin and message — our job was to let the art speak for itself while ensuring it was protected to the highest standards.

We chose a sleek, black bespoke frame, modern yet understated, to echo the minimalist aesthetic Banksy often employs. To protect the print and ensure maximum visibility with minimal glare, we used Artglass AR70 — a premium anti-reflective glass that almost disappears when viewed head-on. This choice allows the viewer to engage with the artwork directly, without distraction.

Framing with Intention

Framing a Banksy isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about respect — for the art, the message, and the story behind its creation. This piece wasn’t bought from a gallery or auction house. It was discovered by chance, in a field, hidden in plain sight — which makes it even more extraordinary.

To handle and frame it felt like a small part in its journey — from a £20 festival find to a statement piece of cultural commentary, preserved for a lifetime.

A Nod to the Unexpected
​
As a bespoke framing business, we love helping people protect what matters to them — from cherished family photos to bold artistic statements. And sometimes, what matters most is something unexpected, even controversial.

This Banksy is a reminder that art can turn up anywhere, challenge norms, and make us pause — and that great framing ensures it can do so for years to come.
