Starting a gallery: interview with Denise Di Battista

For any artist, there is always a challenge of how to get your work seen; one way to make this happen is to set up your own gallery. The Innovation News team spoke to Denise Di Battista about what the process was like for her after she decided to set up her own gallery and print studio. Denise Di Battista is a welsh based artist who creates original artwork using an eclectic style, capturing work true to life as well as some more fantastical imagery. This is the first gallery that Denise has set up herself; however, she does have experience of curating her own solo exhibitions and assisting with the set-up of local art society shows. After deciding to open her own gallery space Denise began the process of finding suitable premises, along with her husband Ivano, who will be running a co-located print centre. After identifying the perfect place on John Street, Llanelli, the work began in March 2016. For Denise, the process was an interesting one; “Very busy and at times it was both stressful and exciting. Prioritising tasks and, because quite a lot of re furbishing was necessary, time managing the working teams was particularly challenging.” Although there have been challenging elements, the end is almost in sight. The doors of the gallery are due to open officially on April 30th 2016. In celebration of the gallery space opening, a private view will be held from 7pm on Friday April 29th 2016. Canapes and drinks will be available for attendees and you will get an exclusive first look at the gallery space. Alongside her original pieces of artwork, Denise also produces limited edition prints. Each of her images is limited to [...]

It’s a sell out for Innova Art at The Photography Show 2016

The Innova range of digital fine art and photographic media proved popular at The Photography show, Birmingham, 19-22 March. A bigger stand than ever before saw Innova Art reseller, Fine Art Foto, selling out of some of the most popular product lines. The stand next to the super stage had a constant stream of visitors keen to stock up on their digital fine art supplies. “Metallic papers were popular this year, the onsite stock of Olmec Photo Metallic Lustre 260gsm sold out before the end of the show,” Wayne Malodobry of Fine Art Foto reported. Alongside the Olmec Metallic papers, the Photo Satin papers also proved popular and Pinchbook Photo Books were flying off the shelf. These covers offer a simple way to bind multiple prints. Pinchbook Photo Books can be used with any paper type – resin coated photo papers or matte and gloss digital fine art papers. Prints can be easily inserted by pulling back the covers to open the patented spring clamp and then secured in place by returning the covers to their original position. “The flexibility of being able to change the content in seconds really appealed to visitors,” commented Malodobry. Value added convenience was a theme for the Innova art stand at The Photography Show this year. The demonstration zone had a regular crowd of visitors keen to learn how to add value to their canvas prints using the GOframe canvas stretching system. The system, which only requires a knife, caught the eye of many enthusiastic photographers looking to make their own stretched canvases at home. “Many photographers said they currently outsource canvas stretching, or had resisted printing on canvas because they felt they lacked the necessary skills to stretch [...]

FESPA Digital 2016: Innova Art’s big draw

Décor and Display win the day Digital specialist Innova Art had an excellent response from visitors to its stand T64, Hall 7, at FESPA Digital 2016, Amsterdam, 8- 11 March. “Our ‘department store’-style presentation proved a real magnet,” said Jon Courtiour, Innova Art Business Director; Decor, Display and Retail Solutions. “People could easily see which were the priority products they wanted to take a closer look at – and then found themselves being enticed into something new by the demonstrations going on all around the stand.” Innova Art’s biggest draw was its award-winning JetMaster® Image Display Systems range, which now includes direct print photo wraps and panels that can be printed in volume and assembled – without tools – in minutes. “We had JetMaster distributor Sign-Tronic on the stand with their Canon Océ Arizona Flatbed printer, demonstrating how easy it is to print 3D art and décor products with JetMaster,” said Courtiour. “Visitors were amazed to see 12x12” JetMaster Direct Print Photo Wraps being printed eight at a time – and ready to hang after just minutes of assembly.” The GOframe canvas stretching system, which transforms wrapped canvases made the traditional way into an astonishingly easy task, were also the centre of attention. The pre-cut stretcher bars in combination with the patented GOframe clamps produce drum-tight stretched canvases without any need for hammers or nails. Throughout the fair, samples of Innova Art’s YouTac® Textile were rolling off the Epson SureColor SC S-40600 provided by ARCA printers and supplies. Driven by Shiraz software, the results were outstanding. Shiraz also operated an Epson SureLab D700 which was used to print artwork for JetMaster Photo Panels and – at the other end of the spectrum – the pages [...]

Digital Fine Art Products: Interview with Natascha Van Niekerk

Digital fine art encompasses so much more than ink on paper; we spoke to Natascha Van Niekerk to find out what approach she has for alternative product formats. Natascha Van Niekerk is a fine art photographer based in South Africa, dedicated to capturing the essence of the beauty in her home land. She currently sells her work as a range of products including jewellery and soft furnishings as well as digital fine art prints on paper. The inspiration For Natascha it was a natural progression to start selling her photography work in alternative formats; “with digital printing these days the options are quite limitless and I feel the photographic medium lends itself to such a wide range of applications.” A passion for photography and an interest in décor combined to result in the launch of her own range of wallpapers, large format prints and cushions. Alongside this she launched her ‘forest in my heart’ range of nickel free silver jewellery – her contribution to the world of wearable art. To do this Natascha had to learn a whole new set of skills. Each application required research and experimentation to learn the best production methods. She persevered through failed experiments and spent many hours working to turn each desired application into a professional product. As a result of this Natascha now creates her products through a combination of her own resources and carefully selected external partners. Finding the perfect team For her jewellery range, Natascha prints digital fine art images on her own wide format printer and makes each individual piece of jewellery, including pendants, earrings and rings, by hand. She also uses her wide format printer to produce her larger digital fine art prints. Currently [...]

Russian photographer Sergey Maltsev launched new show on Innova Art paper

Recently a new exhibition by Russian photographer Sergey Maltsev was on show in The Central House of Artists, Moscow Russia. The exhibition called Images Of India closed on January 10th 2016 featured more than 40 works, all printed by Melange-S on Innova Art paper. India evokes all kinds of images which are embodied in art by each artist. Sergey Maltsev uses a unique theme: architecture of India, both traditional and colonial. The architecture of the area emphasizes the mixing of cultures and times. Sometimes it seems that the photograph has been taken many years ago… at others it seems like it could have been just yesterday. Through this series of photographs, Sergey Maltsev has captured a snap shot of time. The combinations of textures in India are stunningly highlighted in various parts of the country, from the Observatory in Jaipur to the streets of Mumbai. People on the streets are natural and seem snatched from their daily activities completely at random. None of the images in the exhibition were staged. The photographer simply took long walks through the streets of towns and captured the moments of ordinary life. Melange-S, the Innova print center in Russia, produced the prints for the exhibition; watch the video below for a quick tour of the show. “India is able to surprise anyone with its bright colors, even the most discerning traveler, no country has caused in consequence I have so many antithetical feelings and emotions! For my new exhibition, I needed to pick up the print media that best transmits local coloring of India. About 2 years ago I became acquainted with the materials for printing Innova Art. And since then, regularly use Fine Art paper by Innova for printing my [...]
