The riotous colours of some of the earth’s wildest places will be the theme of the Innova Art stand (A6, Hall 7), at FESPA Global Print Expo, 24-27 March 2020.

One of a few digital media specialists founded this century, and the winner of countless awards for its products, Innova Art is one of the world’s most inventive digital print substrate manufacturers. For FESPA 2020, Innova Art has teamed up with the acclaimed artist and tireless environmental activist John Dyer. Founder of Last Chance to Paint, the artistic programme he devised to excite young people about saving the environment. 

John’s dazzling canvases, painted on the spot in the Borneo rainforest are alive with colour. Accompanied by behind the scenes photography, the Innova Art stand at FESPA 2020 tells the story of Last Chance To Paint chapter two: Person of the Forest. Innova Art’s award-winning print substrates and display media capture in impeccable detail all the exuberance and drama of John’s colour-saturated paintings, and the effect is truly uplifting. 

Each chapter of Last Chance To Paint inspires young people to create their own artwork, to upload it to the Last Chance to Paint online gallery and to get involved with action against climate change.

“Planet Earth is in trouble. Peoples, plants, animals and environments are being lost at an alarming rate,” John says. “Through art, children will make personal connections to the world so they choose to tread gently as they grow. We can help to change the world, one painting at a time.”

Person of the Forest saw John and his team meet members of the Penan tribe. Learning about how their way of life has changed because of deforestation. Later in the trip John and the team moved on to spend time at the Orangutan Foundation, meeting orphaned Orangutans and witnessing first-hand how their habitat is shrinking due to land clearance for farming. Since returning from Borneo John has hosted a painting workshop at the Eden project and is currently in the planning phase for Last Chance To Paint chapter three: Precious Africa.
