ArtFix French Linen Rolls Hand Primed for Unmatched Archival Quality
For more than half a century, the Narozni family has handcrafted premium artists’ canvases in Provence, France—each one still meticulously hand-produced and primed. This artisanal legacy continues today under Chassis France, a long-standing expert in canvas and stretcher frame manufacturing. ArtFix canvases represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship for professional artists who demand a surface of exceptional quality.
Linen has always been the gold standard for serious painters due to its durability, long natural fibers, and resistance to sagging and warping. Unlike cotton, linen offers a unique, subtly irregular weave that enhances brushwork and imparts character to every stroke. ArtFix elevates this superior fabric by combining it with a time-honored priming process. All linens, even raw, are double-sized for acid protection. Depending on the roll type, up to four layers of primer are hand-applied and sanded between coats to ensure proper bonding and surface integrity. The result is a flawless finish that resists peeling, cracking, and flaking, and breathes with the paint film for longevity.
