Colorific is starting a new monthly feature, where we showcase one of our wonderful clients. We love our clients and the amazing work they do! This month, we are proud to feature the work of west coast artist, Kostan Lagace of Coastal Fusion Art. In the artist’s words:

Coastal fusion art is a unique blend of traditional formline design mixed with modern contemporary aspects. As an individual I have a huge love and respect for art, culture, the environment and the creatures we share within it. It is my purpose as an artist to inspire and bring people together to have a greater sense and understanding for the benefit of all.

For his latest production entitled Octopus, Colorific produced a truly unique piece, combining lightjet photographic printing with acrylic transmounting.  Transmounting is the process of reverse mounting to the underside of acrylic.  Lightjet photographic printing is ideal for large format artwork, as the process does not involve ink like traditional printing.  The result is a continuous tone colour print, with no dot patterns. Finally a hidden french cleat hanging system was used – a clean and simple method of installation, giving the piece a floating effect.

Transmounting is a popular finishing and display process for artists. The polished acrylic adds depth without overpowering the artwork, maintaining a clean and professional look. Colorific is the leader in this specialized process, having refined our method over many years. Contact us today if you are interested in the transmounting process for your next project.

Thanks to Kostan Lagace for allowing us to feature his work in our client showcase. In addition to his custom acrylic artwork seen here, Kostan also has available limited edition giclee prints and smaller reproductions on a heavy weight fine art paper using archival inks.  You can contact Kostan through his Facebook page, or by email for more information.

If you would like to be featured in our client showcase, please contact us – we would love to hear from you!

Whenever possible we used environmentally friendly materials, that were not only durable, but maintained the bold, bright colours that the kid-friendly exhibit needed.  Below are some images from the Clownfish Cove exhibit:

Dear Steve,

I want to personally thank you for supporting the “Wounded Soles” event, as well as the work of the Rotaract Club of New Westminster with your generous contribution.

The feedback from June 11th, 2010 has been enormously positive.  The venue, entertainment and the quality of the artwork have been praised and it is clear from the enthusiastic reception given to our speaker, Dr. Ashok Kotwal, that our attendees were delighted to have the opportunity to converse with him in such a unique setting.  Your sponsorship helped to make the evening a great success and offered attendees a glimpse into a (not so fictional) world without shoes.

You will be pleased to know that over US $3,400 were raised for the project. These funds were enough to provide 1,600 school children (double the initial goal of 860 pairs of shoes) in Mulky, India with custom-made shoes. We have just received word from the Rotary Club of Mulky, India, that the shoes were finally distributed to the schools in need. Each school then hosted a function inviting local media and political leaders, as well as education officers, to learn more about this initiative and the difficulties these students face. Thanks to your contribution, they now have the opportunity to experience real childhoods, devoid of the physical and psychological disadvantages of walking barefoot.

Attached you may find a few photos from the school ceremonies. Thank you once again, Steve, for being part of a meaningful initiative to help the healthy development of destitute children such as these.

All the best,

Alecsandra Dragne
Director of International Projects of the Rotaract Club of New Westminster (2009-2010)
