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.

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump. ♦ Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin, the mastermind behind iconic works like The Thinker and The Gates of Hell, possessed an uncanny ability to breathe life into stone and bronze. With a chisel and hammer in hand, he transformed blocks of raw material into forms bursting with emotion and vitality. His quote serves as a deceptively simple yet profound insight into the nature of sculpture and, by extension, the creative process itself.

The lump represents the raw material, the substance, the palpable reality. But it's the hole, the space, the void, that lends context and meaning. Just as silence in music can be as potent as a crescendo, the spaces and gaps in sculpture are integral to its overall narrative. They shape the light, cast shadows, and create dynamics, giving a three-dimensional voice to the artist's intent. Similarly, as we approach the canvas, we juggle both substance and absence, crafting narratives with what's both there and what's purposefully left out.

So, as we stare at a block of clay or a blank canvas, remember that it's the delicate dance between the solid and the void, the said and the unsaid, that adds meaning to the composition. It's not just about what we put into our art, but also about what we choose to leave out.
