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.

I will give you the blue sky, the spaces and the trees; I will give you the flight of birds. ♦ Paul Gauguin

The essence of Paul Gauguin's artistic spirit is encapsulated in these words. He wasn't just a painter; he was a giver of visions, a transporter of emotions. Gauguin had an uncanny ability to transmute the tangible and the ordinary into the extraordinary. His shift from Europe to Tahiti wasn't merely geographical; it represented a shift from the known boundaries of Western art to the vast expanse of the unfamiliar, where nature reigned supreme in its raw and untamed form.

In these words, we find an invitation. Gauguin beckons artists to look beyond the mere representation of reality and dive into the realm of emotion and interpretation. For many of us, art isn't just about capturing a scene or a moment; it's about conveying the emotion it evokes. By promising the blue sky, spaces, trees, and the flight of birds, Gauguin is in fact promising an experience, a feeling. His commitment to transporting the viewer into his world of vibrant colors and evocative imagery serves as a reminder that art is a conduit of emotion, a bridge between the painter's soul and the canvas. Through his commitment to providing a visceral experience, Gauguin challenges us to dig deep within, to explore our own vast landscapes of emotion, and to share them with the world.
