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.

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.

Explore behind the scenes of Last Chance To Paint: Person of the Forest at Salon de la Photo 2019. Visit Innova Art on stand C012 in Pavilion 5.1 to see documentary photography of John Dyer’s latest adventure.  In September 2019 John Dyer and the Last Chance To Paint team travelled to Borneo to meet the Penan tribe and spend time with the Orangutan Foundation. They were joined live on their travels by many schools worldwide that connected with the experience via social media and satellite links. This November, visitors to Salon de la Photo 2019 will be able to relive their experiences.  Raising awareness of the impact of climate change, Last Chance To Paint aims to engage children through art and music. Encouraging them to form a lasting connection with the world around them and make a difference. During their time in the rainforest, the Last Chance To Paint team met the Penan tribe in their now permanent village home. Whilst in the village they spent time with the tribal elders who remember the time when the Penan were able to move freely and live by hunting and foraging in the rainforest. The team also spent time with the children in the village. Many of whom have never experienced the migratory existence of the tribe. At the local school, John Dyer held workshops where he and the children expressed what it was like to live in the rainforest using traditional artist mediums.  Moving on from the Penan tribe, the team then relocated to southern Borneo to spend time with the Orangutan Foundation. Here John Dyer spent time painting the Orangutans in their natural habitat. The team also learnt about how deforestation for palm oil plantations [...]
