Commissioned Stretcher for the United Nations
Design, engineering and construction of a stretcher measuring 18′ x 30′.
Because of its large size, the stretcher was designed to be disassembled. A third party executed the on-site assembly, guided by a customized assembly manual created by SLI.
The painting by Norwegian painter, Per Krohg (1889-1965) hangs in the UN Security Council Chamber

I’ve known Simon and have been using his stretchers since 1986. And although his operation has expanded considerably, one thing has not changed…the quality of the work. If Simon ever retires the world will stop spinning!

Simon has an engineering background which is truly unique in the field. Whenever I’ve had a problematic painting support issue that needs solving, Simon looks at it as an interesting challenge that can always be overcome. Working with Simon…(has) been a pleasure.

I have relied on Simon Liu for fabricating stretchers for my paintings for over 10 years. My work requires the highest level of precision and exceptional craftsmanship and that is what Simon Liu provides.

Impeccable workmanship, great staff…and the assumed prospects of much more work together in the years ahead. They have been a part of over 30 shows of mine, and to my knowledge, not one stretcher has ever had to be altered. My deep gratitude in being associated with their fine enterprise and the quality they represent.

…Since I started my private practice in 1990,…I have been completely satisfied with the many stretchers Simon has made for me. Simon and his staff have been very professional and are always willing to help with their expertise.

I have used only Simon Liu stretchers since 2009…They take care and pride in the work they do, and that’s why Simon Liu is the only company I can trust to make my canvases.

I have been happily using Simon’s excellent stretchers and canvas for more than 25 years. His materials and workmanship are the highest quality always.

Simon is an enthusiastic outside-the-box thinker…Together, we have figured out ways to make all kinds of panels. The hardest one simulated a tilted room in perspective…In all honesty, it was just as beautiful raw and unpainted as it was a finished artwork..I wouldn’t be here without Simon and I think many artists would say the same.
