Stud Horses – Studio work Bench

November 23rd, 2011 by sawtay · 1 Comment · Behind the Front

Stud Horses:

Are a patent pending product designed and developed by Adrian Hayles principal and owner of Behind the Front Visual Arts Studio. Stud Horses are an all in one studio work bench. The design was based on the commonly used art studio Horses that have been in circulation for hundreds of years. The problem that the previous Art Horses posed is they take up a great deal of studio real-estate when not in use. What makes the Stud Horses so unique and practical is they have the ability to fold and stored into a 60″ long, by 13″ wide, by 5″ high area.

Stud Horses have three positions from which you can work. The first and most common is the seated position. For added comfort while studying and drawing for long periods, Stud Horses have been outfitted with a cushioned seat. Second is the standing position where the Stud Horse acts as a drafting table. Third is the easel position. In this position the Stud Horse can hold your canvas for on location or in studio paintings.

My client was very keen on creating a graffiti piece for her unborn son. She wanted it to occupy an entire 12′x15′ wall in her apartment. What is unique about this piece is that it comes apart into three sections for multiple display options and easy mobility. The concept behind this piece was for it to have a place in her son’s life as he grows and evolves. With those directions, I came up with this tryptic piece made up of six canvases that I designed and stretched to fill the 7′x4′ area of the available wall space.

Scion x Manifesto presents All Good on the Hood, Jack Layton tribute

I had the pleasure of painting this Scion car hood as part of Manifesto’s: All Good On the Hood. I chose to base my painting on our fallen solder, Mr. Jack Layton as a tribute to his courage and determination.

A year in the making this stands as the largest piece I have created. Located in the heart of the Market at Four Life Natural Foods, this piece is a reflection of Kensington’s vibrant community. It is designed to instill a sense of self worth and is a celebration of life.

This was an awesome experience and a lot was learned while producing the painting mainly, how to layer colours effectively. This stands as my fines canned mural to date.
