Understanding the concept of "SMALLZ".
The concept came to Johnny in the middle of the pandemic. He was interested in acquiring a piece of art from an artist that he admired. The problem was that it was expensive and he wasn’t sure what was going to happen with the economy, so he had to put it off.
This is when Johnny thought it would be nice to have smaller, lower priced pieces. And that is where the idea of “SMALLZ” was born. He would create smaller more affordable pieces of art for those who wanted to start collecting or perhaps wanted a smaller piece for that perfect spot in their home or office.
Blanco defines “Smallz” as smaller pieces in the 16” x 20" or 12” x 12” size range. Still originals and still hand painted by the artist (not a canvas print) on gallery wrapped canvas (staples on back) with a 1/2” stretcher bar. He intends these artworks to be framed in narrow taller moldings or with a flat frame. The standard sizes are meant to save the client money on framing.
Some Smallz are painted in a series of two our four giving the client different display options.
"I love the idea of my original artworks being displayed by those who appreciate them".
