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.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular. ♦ Aristotle

Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher and polymath, was not only a master of philosophy but also a thinker who appreciated the profound essence of art and its connection to the human experience. His words on poetry's philosophical depth offer a fascinating insight into his beliefs and the relevance of art to our lives as artists.

Born in 384 BCE in Stagira, Greece, Aristotle's influence on numerous fields, including ethics, politics, and metaphysics, is immeasurable. Yet, his thoughts on poetry and art reveal a deep understanding of their significance. Aristotle believed that poetry, with its ability to capture universal truths and emotions, transcends the mere recording of historical events. It delves into the essence of the human condition, exploring themes and ideas that resonate with artists and audiences across time.

As artists, we find solace in Aristotle's wisdom, for it reminds us that our creations, whether through painting, sculpture, or any other form of artistic expression, have the power to touch the universal aspects of the human experience. Our work goes beyond the confines of history, connecting with people on a profound level by expressing timeless truths and emotions that bridge the gap between the particular and the universal.
