Canvas Wall Art - A Glamorous Alternative To Traditional Prints

By Liam Trysell


With a stunning array of unique, contemporary designs available from many of the most exciting artists currently operating on the scene, there should be a piece of canvas wall art fit for any taste. Any piece of art can be transferred to canvas, be it an abstract painting, classical iconic design or even a photograph, the transfer to canvas will lend the design a dimension and texture that will really help it stand out.

The process used on canvas wall art is simple and effective. Your chosen print will be pressed onto canvas via an ingenious 'glicee' technology that was designed specially for canvas wall art prints. Glicee enables incredibly detailed colour reproduction due to the fact it uses a 12-colour system as apposed to the more traditional 4. The extra array of colours allows for a far deeper definition and a wider variety of potential colours and colour combinations.

Although there are potentially limitless varieties of gorgeous, limited edition art prints that could be transformed into canvas wall art, perhaps one of the most popular forms of canvas wall art is the photo transfer. High definition photos can be easily printed onto a high quality satin canvas, creating a lasting memory that can be cherished for years. Photos can even be heavily stylised or restored, creating new and exciting pieces of canvas wall art out of your original snapshots.

Transferring your digital photos into canvas life couldn't be simpler. Once your photo has been received and checked over (making sure it has adequate pixel density to be accurately reproduced) an artist will enhance it to its optimum colour levels using a complex colour management system. Next the design will be printed onto a 400gsm satin or matt canvas that will give the image a great texture and almost lifelike definition. Satin is the preferred material as the finish it provides is generally more pleasing and it has more protection than a matt canvas, the matt canvas gives a more 'glossy' look and is an acquired taste.

Regardless of your choice of canvas or canvas wall art they will all be framed in 50mm deep, redwood kiln bars that will not warp over time due to the thickness and quality of the wood. The prints will be stretched by hand over the frame to ensure it is as taught and tidy as possible with no marks, dips or tears. The back of the frame will also be tidied up to look as presentable as possible even though it will rarely be seen. Eco-warriors should also note that precautions should be taken to make sure that all woods used for canvas wall art frames are derived from a sustainable source.
