To me, barbarism is a rejuvenation. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's exploration beyond the comfortable and familiar boundaries of Parisian society led him to the rugged terrains and untouched cultures of places like Tahiti. In these barbaric lands, he found not just a new palette of colors and subjects, but also a renewed spirit of artistic vigor. It was a departure from the academic and the sophisticated, a return to the raw and the primal.

His perspective serves as a compelling reminder for artists. While the modern world often equates advancement with refinement, Gauguin invites us to find rejuvenation in the rudimentary. By embracing the primal, the unpolished, and the unrefined, we can often tap into an energy and creativity that sanitized environments might stifle. As we progress in our artistic paths, let's not forget the invigorating charge that can come from stepping into the uncharted, the wild, and the so-called barbaric

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
