ARVADA, CO - For professional artists, the greatest threat to a creative legacy isn't a lack of vision, but the physical degradation of the artwork itself. Today, Artefex Art, a leader in archival art surfaces, protects world-renowned oil painters Anna Rose Bain artwork; by providing a permanent solution for artists concerned about the longevity of their work.
The Artist’s Challenge: Archival Integrity
Anna Rose Bain, a Signature Faculty Member of the Portrait Society of America, views her work as a "visual form of journaling." After 20 years of experimenting with various surfaces, Bain identified a critical industry failure point: traditional substrates like wood and stretched canvas are hygroscopic, causing them to bend, sag, and decay over time due to environmental changes.
"Every professional artist understands the frustration of seeing a masterpiece compromised by its substrate." Artefex panels serve as a technical insurance policy, protecting the structural bond of the oil paint for centuries.
The Artefex Advantage: Aerospace Technology in Fine Art
To solve the widespread issue of warping, Artefex specializes in professional-grade Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels. These supports offer several key advantages for the modern realist:
-
Warp-Resistance: Unlike wood or MDF, ACM panels are non-hygroscopic and impervious to humidity and temperature shifts.
-
The 533 All-In Panel: Bain’s preferred surface features a 3mm indestructible foundation topped with lead-primed linen, providing the ideal "tooth" for intricate portraiture.
-
Lightweight Rigidity: These panels offer the strength of heavy wood cradles at a fraction of the weight, facilitating easier shipping and handling for galleries and collectors.
Artefex Art is a family-founded manufacturer specializing in high-quality, professional art panels. By utilizing advanced materials like ACM, Copper, and Honeycomb supports, Artefex provides the archival foundations required by the world's leading professional artists and conservators.
