Urban Road and Little Branch collaborate on new canvas art series

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

When does a printed canvas look like a painting? Usually when an artwork is painted in the first place.

131116littebranch-8581

That’s the whole premise behind Urban Road’s first collaboration, with designer stationery brand Little Branch. Original painted art created for the Little Branch canvas collection, in collaboration with Urban Road, is based on still lives and images that the Branchettes (Maree Oaten and Anna Johnson) had admired in European flea markets and mysterious hallways and on old black and white photographs of eccentric art collections.

131116littebranch-8608

The impetus for this series came from the idea of the abundant hang; that somewhat crazy country house aesthetic for mixing all sorts of genres and sizes of canvas on one wall over time. Stretched canvas might be square, but it needn’t be neat. A rambling bohemian spirit sprouts up with every beautiful thing you choose to hang and Little Branch adore the idea of an ever-shifting gallery.

131116littebranch-8612

Little Branch is inspired by: Constance Spry, Frida Kahlo’s blue house, sublime landscapes, Klimt’s stocking tops, rain and rain boots, overflowing mantel pieces, geological collections, cabinets of curiosity, Rodin’s watercolours, electric blue hydrangea, love in a cold climate and Earl Grey with a pinch of lavender. Love that!

Maree is minimal, orderly and attracted to sculptural form, innovative publishing and bright, bright colour. In a past life she could have been an architect with a secret sideline in ceramics. Anna collects vases, teacups and shoes and bustles the school run with gardening shears in her handbag… because you never know where the next magnolia tree is hiding. It’s all in these new works, bleeding into life, soaking up the strange colours of the seasons, dancing between decades, having a proper conversation with a bare white wall.

131116littebranch-8639

All works are printed on 100% cotton canvas using giclee printing methods and eco-solvent inks. Each is then stretched over 38mm timber stretcher bars and gallery wrapped, which means the image is stretched around the edges of the frame to create a seamless, museum-quality finish. They can be hung alone or in “a mad cluster”.

After the success of this collaboration, Urban Road is now calling out for its next collaborator. Could it be you? If you think so, email your portfolio to [email protected]

I'm getting that floor lamp at a minimum.

Karin Gustavsson, creative leader for STOCKHOLM, IKEA Sweden, said: “The purpose of the STOCKHOLM collections has always been to prove that high quality doesn’t need to come at an intimidating cost. We have worked to create a no-compromise kind of collection where every piece tells a story."

Don't hang around as these pieces always sell out fast.

Building new isn't the only way to get a climate f Building new isn't the only way to get a climate friendly home. CSIRO research indicates that over half of the houses Australians will live in by 2050 already exist today. And those homes — from our 1950s weatherboards to mid-century gems — offer one of the most exciting opportunities to slash emissions, cut energy bills, and reimagine home design for a low-carbon future.

Welcome to the rise of retrofit culture: a movement that’s proving you don’t need to knock down to level up.

We're having this discussion on the blog today and sharing examples of two older homes given new, more sustainable, leases on life.

Head over via link in bio and stories.

Love to know your view on knockdown rebuild vs. Renovating older homes and what you have done and why in the comments!
