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.

Forms and rhythms in painting are more and more dominated by geometry, by calculation. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay, a titan of Orphic Cubism, was no stranger to the transformative power of geometric shapes and calculated rhythms in art. For Delaunay, the world of art was a vivid tapestry where mathematics met imagination. He recognized that beneath the sweeping strokes and vibrant hues lay a meticulous framework, often rooted in geometry and precise calculation.

For many artists, the idea of combining rigid mathematical constructs with the fluidity of artistic expression might seem counterintuitive. But in reality, these seemingly opposite worlds can coexist harmoniously. When we weave geometry into our art, we tap into the universe's inherent order and symmetry, which can enhance the depth and perspective of our creations. The calculated rhythm, born out of precise geometric patterns, can evoke feelings of balance and harmony in the viewer's psyche.

Embracing this insight, we can see the potential to innovate and redefine the boundaries of our craft. When we find the balance between intuition and calculation, our art becomes a beautiful dance of emotion and structure, passion, and precision. It's a reminder that in the vast landscape of artistic expression, there's a place where the heart's impulses and the mind's calculations intersect, leading to masterpieces that are both emotionally resonant and geometrically profound.
