on 1300 731 529.The development of the ARTristic EaselIn June 2008, artist Tony Barber had a
theory that he wished to prove before
he died. He interviewed hundreds of
Australian artists of all mediums, skill
levels and ages about their relationship
with their easels. He sketched,
photographed and filmed them as they
prepared, painted and cleaned up after
completing their work. As the artists
painted they were encouraged to talk
about what they were thinking and
physically feeling. They were asked to
write down a list of any extra features
they wanted an easel to have and
to include their age and the reasons
why they needed these changes.
Surprisingly, the research
material revealed that artists of
all demographics responded
more or less the same and had
no desire to suffer for their art.
Realising that traditional easels
were designed at a time in history
when the artists’ physical and mental
wellbeing were not a high priority
and not considered to be an integral
part of the painting process but just
something to prop up the canvas, Tony
commenced designing an easel that
would incorporate almost every item
on the present day artist’s “wish list”.
Five years and many prototypes
later, the end result is the
groundbreaking ARTristic Easel.
Don’t be fooled by its looks or
allow tradition to divert you from its
merits. This is a serious studio easel
that works for and with the artist. The
rewards of this partnership takes the
“pain” out of painting and proves
conclusively that when all physical
and visual impediments are removed
from an artist’s line of sight, they relax
totally. The easel give artists total
freedom of expression and pinpoint
control over their paint, brushes,
painting arm, fingers, brushes and
canvas, allowing them to paint with
increased skill, faster and without
any loss of quality. Everything about
their painting experience improves.
The end results are amazing as
they discover their true potential as
an artist and confirm that there is a
direct correlation between an artist’s
physical and mental comfort, their
easel and the quality of their artwork.
