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.

The simultaneous contrast is both a harmony and a discord. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Delving into the intricacies of Robert Delaunay's career, one is struck by his obsession with contrasts, especially in the realm of color. A pioneer of Orphism, a subset of Cubism, Delaunay's exploration wasn't just about the visual aesthetics of color but also about its duality and interactions. When colors meet, they either enhance each other in harmony or clash in discord. His abstraction often played with this tension, crafting compositions that lived in the electric moment of 'simultaneous contrast'.

The concept carries profound implications. Colors, much like emotions, find their truest expression in relation. The vibrancy of a hue can be magnified or diminished based on its neighbor. It reminds us of the delicate balance and choices we make, not just in color palettes but in life. Embracing both harmony and discord, we find our unique voice and perspective in a world filled with contrasts.
