Clavos Frame

This gallant canvas defiantly challenges the conventional aesthetic of gallery-displayed art, celebrating the rich diversity of human experience and our capacity for empathy, as the artist's vulnerable vision inspires us to embrace our ‘imperfections’ and cultivate deeper compassion.

The Clavos Frame is a contemporary approach to canvas construction that abandons the concealment of the framework, fasteners, and canvas arrangement. Instead, these elements are left visible, illuminating the vulnerability and stress the canvas endures. This design introduces a secondary surface plane, allowing artists to create atmospheric, "cloudy" effects by painting on the back of the raw canvas. This novel method of expressive mark-making enables artists to define volume, mass, and space in innovative ways, inviting deeper exploration and expands viewer engagement.

The wood, the nails, the fabric, and the presence of the artist all at once, showing they are all part of the same idea.
