Canvas prints are fast becoming the most popular kind of artwork for decorating your home and brightening up those blank walls! So you’ve made the first important decision of what kind of artwork you’re going for – now to choose the image and size!
But if you’re looking for something a bit different and need to cover a really big wall, how big can you go? With multiple tiled canvas prints there’s no limit and you can guarantee that this kind of super-scale canvas artwork will create a real ‘wow’ factor in any room with dramatic impact guaranteed, creating a sensation of movement as the viewer walks past the artwork, that is an amazing trick of the eye.
So what are multiple tiled canvas prints? It is simply one single image or photo split up and printed onto several canvases instead of just one large one. But don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this concept. The whole picture is carefully and precisely split up into separate tiles with the image continuing around the sides of the frame, so that when all the canvases are hung together the edges match up perfectly. The cleverly skilled processes include knowing how to split the image to its best effect, bleeding the image around the edges of the frame and also accurately hand stretching each individual canvas to the nearest millimetre. The end result when all tiles are hung and equally spaced on the wall is more than eye catching – the image really does follow you around the room!
So how many tiled canvas prints can you have? The usual format is to have three different canvases arranged in a row which is known as a triptych and many canvas printing companies now offer this style. But… this is where CanvasRus is different. They offer up to six different formats with 2 different size canvases for both square and rectangular images, so 12 formats altogether. For example the largest they could do would be a square image split into nine 18″x18″ canvases making huge canvas artwork of an overall size of nearly 5ft square!
However, through their parent company, Portobello Art, dealing solely with trade customers, they have now become renowned in the hospitality and leisure industries for their bespoke floor to ceiling artwork. One project recently completed was for a hotel who needed artwork for a huge lobby wall that needed to be 14ft high by 12ft wide and their own bespoke image was split into 56 (7 across and 8 down) separate square 20″x20″ canvases! The whole effect was simply stunning!
So you’re now convinced – what image to choose? If you use your own photos, landscape, scenery and floral shots will look fantastic but portrait and facial close-ups don’t work as well because invariably you will find that an eye or mouth has to be cut in half!! If you can’t find a suitable photo then have a look through the CanvasRus eight themed galleries of stylish images from Abstract artwork through Iconic images all the way to kids murals and you’re sure to find something that will suit your style or colour scheme.
CanvasRus has a huge customer base and through their parent trade company they supply thousands of canvas prints to retail and trade customers printing 250-300 canvas prints a day (that’s right – a day, not a week!) and fulfilling over 200 individual orders a week, which means that they are confident in claiming to be the top printer of canvas prints in the UK.
