Large Tyvek Paintings from Janet Read on Tyvek 10G
Tyvek is certainly great for large artworks, and Janet Read certainly shows that with her two large paintings on Tyvek entitled Reading the Wave 1 and Reading the Wave 2. How large? Each is 5 feet wide by 12 feet high. Tyvek 10G was used for these paintings. They were part of her exhibition shown recently at two galleries in Ontario Canada.

The artist, Janet Read, comments:
These works were created on hard surface Tyvek 10G for the Reading the Wave exhibitions. My work was inspired by residencies in Newfoundland, Canada and on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. I used acrylic paint with the Tyvek medium and lots of water to do these works, titled Reading the Wave #1 and #2. The surface of the Tyvek is really beautiful especially with a thin wash of acrylic which makes the fiber grain visible. A soft linear texture is revealed under the paint, like a frost pattern on ice.
It is really wonderful to roll up two paintings, 60 x 144 inches, and pop them in a box and away they go. I had special dowels made at the Japanese Paper Place in Toronto that have rare earth magnets in them. They clip together and held the piece perfectly. They were 1 and a half inch dowels with four pairs of magnets imbedded in them.
