10x20 3D Pro Isola Canvas 2-1/2" #DI-1020

True 2:1 Domino Proportion - 10x20 Size

10x20 is one of our popular Domino 2:1 sizes.

The 2:1 aspect ratio, that we call the domino proportion, also offers a unique canvas for artists to play with the perception of space and depth within their compositions. The elongated format allows for the inclusion of foreground, middle ground, and background elements, creating a sense of distance and scale that draws the viewer's eye into the artwork. This aspect ratio has been used by artists throughout history, from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings to Renaissance frescoes to contemporary photography. Its versatility and timelessness make it a classic choice for artists seeking to create dynamic and engaging compositions.

3D™ Pro 2.5 Stretcher Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• 1.25" wide Stretcher Bar
• All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Sustainably Managed Forests Purify the Air

Our forests purify the air by filtering nearly 40% of the fossil fuel emissions humans create, and are critical to reducing global warming. More trees are needed on this planet, not fewer, for our own healthy human survival. Therefore, we use lumber grown in responsibly managed forests, so future generations can benefit from our responsible actions today.

We'll always talk about paintings but never the painting before us. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, an artist whose life was characterized by introspection and a continuous search for meaning, often found himself at odds with mainstream art discourse. His statement points to a prevalent dilemma: the tendency to get engrossed in the broader discourse about art while neglecting the individual piece that stands in our midst.

This reflection serves as an acute observation of the art world's inclination to generalize, categorize, and perhaps even commodify art. Gauguin's sentiment is not merely a critique of his contemporaries but a call to us, as artists, to truly engage with individual artworks, to appreciate their nuances, and to grasp the essence of what stands before our eyes. The broader narrative, the overarching styles, and schools of thought can sometimes overshadow the raw emotion, intention, and narrative of a single piece. In our artistic paths, it's essential to remember to pause and truly see, feel, and engage with the art before us, rather than getting lost in sweeping generalizations or popular opinion.

Gauguin's experiences, from the bustling streets of Paris to the remote islands of Polynesia, were always marked by his relentless pursuit of truth and authenticity. For us, his words echo the importance of valuing the individuality of each artwork and the unique story it tells. In an age of rapid communication and consumption, may we be inspired to slow down, engage deeply, and cherish the art that stands right before us.
