Photos on Canvas: Present a Novel Way to Display Artwork
Commercial artists and photographers can become distinguished as artist by displaying there work on canvas.
The world is inundated with visual information – there is photographic imagery every where we go – billboards and snipes seek to cover every possible piece of vertical real estate in our exploding and go-go metropolises, magazines shout at us in the grocery store and our mailboxes are filled with 4-color junk mail and lingerie catalogs. Sensory overload is a true event, one that we shouldn’t take lightly. And yet we do…
If you want a way to stand out from the pack with you art photographs (whether it is commercial art or Fine Art), then you need to think outside of the box. Tap into that creative energy and artistic skills that you’re banking on… use the canvas as your canvas! The inherently impressive nature of Digital Canvas Prints should spur your creative juices to devise ways to take advantage of the surface texture and display format to enhance the possibilities of traditional photographic presentation.
It is arguably true that canvas prints don’t come in as large of variety of dimensions as paper prints, but don’t let that dissuade on what you can do (this is of course different with Fire Art print work, that paper has limited dimension outside of complete customer work). Get creative, think graphically, think in terms of texture and surface. For instance, take a single photograph and slice it into thirds such that the set of photographs will form the single image or take a group of thematically common images set side-by-side or in a square to form one big concept piece… this is not only more innovative and novel than one massive paper print, it is also more cost-effective. Also, because you’re printing on canvas consider using Fine Art specific frames to embellish the elegant essence of the oil painting aesthetic.
Since we exist in a photographic world that relies on Photoshop the way a newborn relies on its mother to post process our images, we cannot neglect the train of thought that the printing process has been expanded by the cornucopia of digital image enhancement techniques that are part of that software package. The Printing Process has the ability to be expanded and enhanced in ways not thought of before and this also comes into play by what medium the final image will be exported to.
Dabble with the filter effects in Photoshop, even consider applying acrylic paint to the photographic print (consider this ahead of time and work it into the composition and design of the image)… in essence take a page or two out of the modern or post-modern painters book of tricks for the use of canvas as capture medium and push the limits of your work. A tear or rip in the canvas – as part of the design of the art work – could yield great accolades or even processing the photographic image in a way to have an "unfinished" look that incorporates the canvas and its specific texture is way to give your work an added punch.
For centuries canvas has been the ultimate medium for artists to stand head and shoulders above any sort of paper or poster board or fabric… accept the artistic heritage that you’re now embracing and push the envelop.
