 Gallery wrap is where the painting is made "Too big" for the canvas. When it is stretched onto the stretcher bar the color is wrapped around the sides. This enables you to hang the painting unframed and have color on the edges (as opposed to white canvas).  In other cases , the edges will actually be hand painted by James is close colors simular to the painting.
