I would go for something with a classic and understanded simplicity.

Single solid black mount, four close spaced v-grooves and a dark gunmetal aluminium frame.

Nice framing which totally suites the artwork. :D

Unfortunately not my cup of tea and I wouldn't give it space in my garage :giggle:

Suits the pictures, I only have one small criticism, they may have looked a little better with a reverse bevel on the coloured mount.
