"My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji. I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. And I represent my company Abstract Frames and Supplies Private Limited, Calcutta, India. Now I have turned the picture to the front side and you will see the three canvas have been placed in the L shaped frame. The L shaped frame to remind you is just two pieces of wood. Which have been made into a L and the three canvas have been placed in the L leaving a gap. Just to give the feel that there is a space between the frame and canvas. As you see all around there is a gap which gives the effect. Which if we have brought the frame very close it would have looked very cramped. So to give some space within the frame; within the painting and the frame; we have used an L shaped frame. And we have framed this canvas, which is a new way of framing. I would also like to point out that this frame, though it has a wooden effect. And it has the color of natural wood. This is a synthetic frame. We have not touched the canvas. We have not disturbed the canvas on the sides. We made it look like it has some depth. As you can see the frame is slightly higher than the canvas. So there is a depth given to the canvas. And this is known as a box frame. Thank you."
