Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

The function of art is to struggle against obligation. ♦ Amadeo Modigliani

A celebrated figure in the world of modern art, Amadeo Modigliani was not just an observer of the world around him; he was an active participant in challenging societal norms and expectations. His bohemian lifestyle and avant-garde approach to art were a testament to his belief that creativity should never be shackled by convention. In his eyes, art was a realm of freedom, a space where one could defy the constraints placed upon them by external forces.

Artists often find themselves at the crossroads of obligation and creative freedom. There's an underlying pressure to conform, to produce what's commercially viable, or to fit into preconceived molds. Yet, true innovation and artistic growth arise when we push boundaries and question the established. By acknowledging and acting on Modigliani's perspective, we empower ourselves to take risks, to defy expectations, and to create art that is truly a reflection of our individual spirit, unfettered by the weight of obligation.
