How to hang Your Metal & Perspex Art

As well as our ever growing canvas art section, we recently launched our new metal and perspex art range to great success and we've been busy spraying ever since. We do however keep getting questions about the best way to hang these hand crafted pieces of art on the wall.

To make things as easy as possible for you to hang your new artwork, we've pre-drilled the metal and the perspex with 4 holes, 1 for each corner. Each hole is drilled exactly 1" from either edge. Using these holes, we supply 4 'stand off bolts' to mount the art to the wall.

So what do you need to do? Well, as well as the stand off bolts, you also get 4 screws and 4 raw plugs. You need to drill four holes in the wall, attach the mount bolt base using the screw. Line up the four holes and screw in the end cap. For the metal art (62cm x 55cm) the internal measurements (central point of each hole) measures 58cm x 50.5cm. This is what it should be, but we recommend that you always measure each other the lengths yourself.

The stand off bolts we supply are satin silver 20mm bolts. They have a perfect 20mm gap to the wall so that you have the choice to mount a light source behind the art to really draw attention to it.

If you like the look of the metal and perspex art, but not sure of the current artwork? Why not contact us with any ideas you might have? You can also leave us a note over at our Facebook page! We're working hard on new artwork which we should have up over the summer.

WhoArtNow on Metal

We have been busy beavering away over the last few months working on lots of exciting new ranges of art. We've got the Wall Stickers, as well as the much anticipated range by international artist, BOYD.


So the Metal art has landed after over a year of developing. Part of the successful Plastic Art range that we started this time last year, we are following on with iconic images hand stencilled on high quality stainless steel. The high quality steel is rust proof, and with a coating of clear lacquer, we're able to offer these pieces of hand made art as external art work as well as internal. Mounting the metal on the wall, we are using stand-off bolts to set it 20-40mm off the wall. This means that it has a rock-solid mounting & gives it a slick, contemporary look.

Making a great addition to any interior, we also believe these pieces would look amazing in a garden or courtyard. These exclusive designs are hand-produced, sealed with lacquer and finished with the usual WHoArtNow seal of approval.


To kick the range off, we are launching a range of 12 images, from the Daft Punk, Slash and Darth Vadar you see here, we'll also be adding Scarface, Oasis and R2D2. More will be coming, and as you may have noticed, most of these are unique pieces of art exclusively for out new Metal Art range. If you have any suggestions for some metal art, why not leave us a suggestion in the comments?

There going to be available in 1 size, 62cm by 55cm (24.5" x 21.5") but we hope to offer a selection of sizes for various budgets shortly. The starting price for the 62x55 is going to be £99 (with £11.95 P&P) and that will become our "medium" size.

Sadly these photos don't do the metal art justice. The brushed stainless steel finish looks amazing in the flesh. The black contrasts really well with the soft, yet reflective metal to create a truly stunning piece of modern art.

There is also the possibility of custom "photo2metal" becoming available later in the year depending on demand.

Also watch out for some "exclusive" Metal Art from our resident Stencil Artist Frazier Boyd who's done such a good job on our canvas prints that we're getting him to do more!

Are you on Facebook? If so, why not become out fan? Once you've done that, you can enter our competition to win one of these exclusive pieces of Metal art. All you need to do is answer one simple question. We've opened this competition up to everyone in the world! As long as people outside of Mainland UK understand that a small charge will need to be made to enter. (Roughly £6 Europe and £15 for USA) Good luck!
