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 regard as symbolist everything that raises our soul to activity. ♦ Robert Delaunay

In the vast and intricate tapestry of art history, Robert Delaunay occupies a space known for its vivacious use of color and geometric abstraction. However, his views on symbolism offer a profound understanding of what art can be. By considering anything that stirs the soul to activity as symbolist, Delaunay prompts us to look beyond traditional definitions and to recognize the transformative power of art.

We, in our art careers, are constantly in search of symbols, be it through brush strokes, hues, or forms, that elicit profound emotional responses. Whether it's the nostalgia evoked by a particular shade of blue or the anxiety captured in a jagged line, it's the symbolic value of these elements that reach out and touch our souls. What Delaunay understood, and what many of us have come to realize, is that symbolism isn't restricted to overt images or motifs. Instead, it's present in every choice we make as artists, in every emotion we aim to convey, and in every reaction we hope to invoke.

Art, in its purest form, is a conduit between the soul of the artist and the soul of the observer. Every artwork, every color, every shape holds the potential to awaken something deep within us. Delaunay's perspective serves as a reminder that our pursuit should not be merely to create but to inspire, to move, and to resonate with the deepest parts of our collective soul.
