Reflecting life around this historic area, all images at The Portobello Arts Club have been photographed by Jason Durston, and are exclusive to the gallery. His keen eye for colour, texture and composition give him a unique visual perspective.
Our Materials
We use the finest artists canvas and papers for all of the prints we produce. Our museum quality artists stretcher bars are made of the finest quality kiln dried fir wood, which has the advantage of being very light, yet extremely hard wearing and not susceptible to warping like standard pine or other softwoods are prone to do.
Each bar features a rounded back edge which is designed to ensure that the canvas is always kept a full ½" (13mm) above the stretcher bar to ensure that there can be no ghost impressions on the canvas. These stretcher bars also incorporate 'wedges' which are placed in each corner and allow the canvas to be stretched extremely tightly over the frame. It also allows the canvas to be re-stretched over time, which can be of particular importance for the larger sizes we offer. We stock 1½" (38mm) and ¾" (19mm) bars to use on all our stretched canvas prints.
Lifetime Quality Guarantee
We use only the finest possible canvas, ink and stretcher bars. And because we don't make any compromises, we can offer you a lifetime guarantee on all our products. We guarantee that:
- the inks on the canvas print will not fade
- the canvas will not sag or need re-stretching
- the frame will stay strong
Our Inks and Printing Process
The canvas printing process we utilise is a technologically advanced 12 Colour HP Vivera pigment based system. This has a guaranteed colour fastness (according to HP data) of 200 years. The 12 process results in a truly amazing colour reproduction and fabulous neutral and true black and white prints.
We use the highest quality FujiFilm Crystal Archive photographic paper, which produces prints that are guaranteed fade resistant for 150 years! Fuji boasts that their paper gives improved whiteness, combined with excellent highlight and shadow depth qualities,
Hanging Kits
Although our canvas prints are extremely easy to hang by simply resting the frames on two screws or nails, we include patented CWH Hangers for Canvas Art with every print. The unique design incorporates a cut-out which allows the print to be hung on a standard 2 pin picture hook (also supplied). Using these hangers ensures that the finished print is 'pulled' flush to the wall and results in a very secure fixing with minimum fuss.
