Innova Art is Coming of Age

While 2020 brought with it challenges and uncertainties never before experienced in our lifetimes, the management team at Innova Art Ltd, were determined not to allow the COViD pandemic to hold us back. So, once we took care of the related health & safety requirements, we committed ourselves to pushing forward to realise our intended vision.  “We used the slower moments of the pandemic to take a long and hard look at our own organisation and visualise the business we really want to be, thereafter we fully initiated the steps required to move us towards the vision we created.”  Comments Nevelle Bower, Innova Art Ltd CEO. The first step in this direction was to notice that, as we enter our 19th year in business, we have become, an industry leading manufacture of digital fine-art and photographic media with a high-quality sheet and roll converting facility. We recognised that our skills and capabilities could be offered across a much broader digital and imaging media range. Therefore we took the initiative to expand and increase our capabilities in order to offer our experience and services to others just as markets turned their attention to more regional solutions. We added four batch-slitters, a reel-to-reel master roll slitter and a state-of-the-art (semi-automatic) sheeting line with packing processes to our already very capable facility.  Adding these 6 new machines have increased the production capabilities from 2000 finished rolls per month to 12000, with sheeting and packing potentials up more than 100%. All of this we  achieved while maintaining a strict COViD safety policy with socially-distanced workstations spaced much further apart than the governments required 2m divisions. We are growing responsibly The resulting growth in the last quarter of 2020, even [...]

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 [...]
