the farmboy approach to urban art
August 2, 2007
i ran across this great line of urban art that’s perfect for some of our upcoming hospitality projects, farmboy fine arts inc., based in vancouver BC.
they are an art and design company that develops site-specific artwork and design objects that targets the hospitality, healthcare, casino, and retail environment markets. the farmboy design approach offers a great selection with fresh contemporary artwork designed specifically for any environment and budget. their unique concepts of framing and installation definitely set them apart, they can do everything from backlit acrylic, thick translucent panels, solid panels, framing, custom shaped mirrors, canvas, wallpaper & vinyl, aluminum & polyesthylene core (from recycled tires), and 3D medium.

since i’m dating a canadian from the prairies and i grew up in the midwest, i love the idea that they’re using their roots as the storyline.
You guessed it. We actually are farmboys, born and raised in Western Canada in the heart of the Canadian prairies. Our heritage says a lot about who we are as people and how we treat our clients.
i also like they’re innovative FB123 process; choose your image, choose your medium, choose your composition. i can’t wait to get more info.

that is a wonderful compliment for the designers from the foothills of Alberta.
There is also a Ladies company from the prairies called Angela Cameron Fine art who have a much higher quality product available.
Her work is superlative as well as very original. Her roots go back to Manitoba’s true roots and the Dozens of art and Photography awards she has won. Looked up to by many of her now Vancouver Local peers. Angela Cameron is something every designer should go have a look at
