We'd like to thank everybody for the kind feedback we've received on the new canvas art designs we've added to the site recently.

We're putting the finishing touches to even more canvas art and are looking forward to boosting our Abstract and Square canvas art ranges! Watch this space for more details; we'll

Canvas Republic have always strived to make the highest possible quality canvas prints. This means that we have to try out new materials all the time, ensuring that we're offering best product we possibly can. We recently sourced a new manufacturer of pine stretcher bars in Europe, who are making the best frames we have seen in a long time. The frames are cut with amazing precision, have a

We've now updated the photo on canvas to include some exciting new options. In addition to the standard colour and black and white options, we've added two sepia types, three new pop art types and a Glamour Portrait service. There are interactive previews showing before and after images, giving you an idea of how your image will look in a particular style. If you're looking for a photo on

We're delighted to announce that we're now coating every canvas print that we make using Glamour II, the finest inkjet giclee coating available. Glamour II is a proprietry canvas varnish that has been developed to protect, preserve and enhance fine art and photographic prints. It further enhances the colour of the pigmented inks we use and increases resistance to fading. Additionally, it

Wow, thank you to everyone who has made the free canvas print offer so successful. We've had a great response and we've been busy making loads of your gallery choices and photo on canvas images. The offer has been so popular that we've decided to extend it. So if you haven't chosen from our exclusive range of canvas wall art before, there's never been a better time...

We promised new wall art and here it is! We're delighted with the new artwork the team has been been producing, and today we've stocked the triptych section full of brand new designs. Whether you're looking for bold accent colours or subtle, neutral shades, we've got you covered. There's still more to come, and we'll also be adding new artwork to the other sections too.

There's a revolution happening in interior design: wall art. Printed on canvas, with an invisible frame, wall art is the contemporary way to display prints. I'm sure we've all been the proud owner of a guilded, gold picture frame at some stage in our lives. In fact, until recently we didn't have much choice in the matter. Gold is nice, of course, when on a piece of fine jewellery. Or on your

Canvas Republic are committed to creating amazing artwork and supplying our customers in record time. Inevitably, this requires some changes to our products and We feel that we will better placed to serve our customers by focussing on our growing canvas art range. However, we still want our customers to be able to access similarly high quality acrylic artwork. As the number of suppliers offer

We don't mean to be rude, but you are a primate. So are we, and it's very useful for choosing the colour of your canvas art! One benefit of being an higher ape, apart from being (in most cases) highly intelligent, is that we are very sensitive to subtle differences in colour. Specifically, we have trichromatic colour vision, which enables us to distinguish red from green. Very useful if you're

We're often asked why we're so much cheaper than practically all the other canvas art companies in the UK. On our Live Chat service, for example, people regularly query the price of our large canvas prints and three part sets particularly, and wonder if there's anything inferior about the quality. The answer is always a resounding "No!" We decided to write this article to reveal some of the

As you can imagine, we're sent lots of photos every day and we're used to working with a range of images. Because of this, we are sometimes a little guilty of taking for granted that our customers know exactly what and how to send files to us! One of the main concerns our customers have is whether their image is of sufficient quality to make a good canvas print. The image files we receive come

Rectangular artwork, whether it is displayed portrait (tall) or landscape (wide), is an eminently popular format. It's great for large living room walls, and to make a centre-piece above a sofa or bed. But have you considered a square piece? Square format canvas art has a symmetry in both directions, allowing for some creative display options on the wall. Many of our abstract square canvasses

We've been asked a few times for a smaller version of the huge 92" span cascading sets and have added a brand new size. The new cascading set size has a total width of 72", with each panel in the set measuring 12" wide. This smaller size provides a great way to have the look of the larger cascading sets on a smaller wall. Please see the 5 Part Set gallery for more information...

When we write about the canvas art we make, we really try to capture how great they look in real life. But then we would, wouldn't we? Perhaps we should really let our customers do the talking and let you know what they thought of their new Canvas Republic canvas prints... To give you an idea of what our customers think, we decided to create a testimonials page for some of the feedback and

In November of last year, Laura Williams of Breast Cancer Care Cymru approached us about supporting her fundraising efforts for a Pink Ball charity event.

One of the options on our Photo On Canvas product is edge type. This refers to how the sides of your canvas print are finished. Perhaps the most popular option is the full Photo Wrap. This is when a portion of the edges of your image make up the sides of the finished canvas print. Photo Wrap really enhances the three-dimensional effect of canvas art. When processing your image for photo wrap,

You may well wonder what those strange little wedges are that come with your canvas art frame... These wedges are to tension the print and we tap them into the stretcher bar frames in order to fully tighten your canvas print before shipping. The wedges work by pushing apart the unfixed corners of the frame slightly, making the canvas taut. As with most woven materials, canvas won't stay this
