IN THE MAINFRAME Lahore based MainFrame is the brainchild of Shahzad Saeed Ahmad and Ejaz Saeed, both of whom are committed to exceptional design, competitive pricing and professional, friendly service. They have built their collection over the last two decades, which includes numerous rare and immensely valuable artworks – providing a platform to the upcoming as well as established artists to present their works to the global art arena. MainFrame’s product portfolio consists of museum quality glass and mountboards, high quality wooden and plastic frames, and cutting edge machinery - which remains unmatched in Pakistan. MainFrame the Gallery has recently opened up a second branch in the city of Karachi. Shahzad told 4walls that venturing into a new market is always tricky: “Policy changes by the new government has left a lot to be desired. We count ourselves to be extremely lucky to have a well-aware clientele that can recognise quality products and services. “It has been a packed maiden year. We became the official partners for the Second International Water Colour Biennial. Another project that I am particularly happy about is an upcoming exhibition in Mohatta Palace Museum. A renowned private art collector and anthropologist will be exhibiting his formidable collection of artworks at the iconic venue. Not only are the frames being used for this show going to add beauty but they will also serve to prolong the life of invaluable works. An additional prestigious commission was the framing of Werdha’s artwork which was selected for the Jamil prize at the V&A gallery.
