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.

He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. ♦ Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century, frequently challenged traditional European morality and Christianity. Nietzsche's relationship with the idea of the abyss or the depths of human psyche and existence, was significant in his works. Artists, often voyaging into the depths of human emotion and consciousness, resonate with this statement. They are the brave souls who confront the 'monsters' of society, personal traumas, and even the unknown realms of existence. Yet, Nietzsche warns of the dangers that lie in delving too deep or becoming too consumed by one's subjects. The balance, particularly for artists, lies in exploring darkness without becoming it.

The tumultuous nature of Nietzsche's own life, marked by health issues and eventual mental collapse, might have contributed to his profound understanding of the delicate balance between diving into the abyss and not being consumed by it. For artists, this reflection serves as a reminder to tread cautiously while seeking inspiration in the depths of human existence.
