I went to U frame it as I was washing my car next door at Bubbles. I needed to get a mat for a…read morepainting of mine anyways and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. The man working there was more than just helpful; he took out many colors for me to look at and went so far as to show me different kind of tape and procedures to tape pieces. It was quite educational actually, I learnt there is a regular scotch tape that can be bought on any stationary shelf that is actually acid free and that many framers use for museum and gallery pieces. I was laughing however in he was erasing fingerprints of my mat but adding more while he was doing it. I finally said it was fine and took the matt away from him. Very entertaining and personal service. Smaller shop but had a nice variety of coloured mattes and some original art watercolours and signed litho.

Master's Gallery sits gallantly on the corner of 21st and 4th St. And unlike other galleries that…read morecan be intimidating, warm staff actually welcomes you as soon as you enter this gallery. Both floors of MG feature some of the best art that Canada has to offer. The gallery is well laid out, pieces are well curated and there is a specific room dedicated solely to the thirty year history of the gallery featuring a 150 year span of the best pieces of MG's past. Well lit and spacious, a Fafard colt sculpture is in plain view in the far corner of one of the rooms. Amazing! Joe Fafard is a world renowned Saskatchewan artist who recently showed at the Glenbow Museum just last year and now a lucky Calgarian can actually purchase one of his pieces here. MG is one of the oldest galleries in the city and is unique in that it carries both historical and modern pieces. Their mandate is making gallery visiting fun, they encourage you to simply come in and look around. One of the nicest perks about MG is once you are set on a piece, MG will let you take it home for a trial run, and once you have purchased a piece and have outgrown it you are welcome to take it back to MG and trade it for another one. For this reason MG has a steady cliental base here in Calgary because they ensure that your art purchases coincide with the money that you have available and the pieces that are purchased are of value.

I am extremely pleased with the art, quality and transaction with Alex. A little back story…read more.. while living in San Diego, I learned about Peter Lik after visiting one of his studios in La Jolla. The style and work was incredible, but the prices were outrageous... More than that however I did not personally connect with any of his pieces. I knew that I wanted this style artwork and I also wanted a piece that represented San Diego to me. While searching google for hours, I stumbled upon Alex's ebay page. I found an incredible piece taken on the shores of San Diego that really spoke to me. While the price was reasonable compared to PL's, it was still expensive relatively speaking and since the gallery is in Canada and I'm in the US, it made me very nervous to make this transaction. I looked to yelp and saw very few reviews, so I reached out to Alex directly. He was VERY responsive and sent me mock ups of how the piece would look on the wall. I also gave him measurements of the space and he customized the dimensions of the piece. I felt much more comfortable at that point and decided to order. Much to my surprise, the piece made it to Illinois 4 days after ordering! It came in a custom crate and was packed impeccably. I could not be more pleased! This piece is the centerpiece of our home.

It just so happened that Fed Ex dropped something heavy onto my print so it came damaged. I declined delivery and was thoroughly bummed. I called Alex immediately and told him of situation. Within a few days he sent me a new print. Unbelievable! He is so professional, understanding and really good at what he does! It was a true pleasure doing business with him. His photos are amazing and really fairly priced. Peter Lik ain't got nothing on Alex! Thanks Alex!
