Artovision is a Wisconsin-based company that creates 3-dimensional collectable artwork inspired by popular culture, video games, food and Americana. Over the past few years, they've released several sets of officially-licensed pieces based on Rush album art including Moving Pictures, Roll the Bones, Hold Your Fire, A Show of Hands, Signals (this desktop art piece too), Hemispheres, Clockwork Angels and Counterparts, and - most recently - Rush's debut album. Their latest offering is in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the April 12, 1984 release of Rush's Grace Under Pressure album. They've released a 3-D Shadowbox piece along with 2 varieties of their Desktop artwork. The collectible shadowbox art piece depicts the album's iconic cover art and measures 14x14" x 2.5". It comes ready to hang with an official Rush Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and each piece is printed on 1/8" thick optical-grade acrylic with vibrant UV cured inks and set in a high quality finished MDF wood frame. You can purchase one of the Shadowbox pieces for $159 at this location. There's also a corresponding Desktop version depicting the album art, along with another showing the "egg in a clamp". Both Desktop pieces are printed on 3/4" thick optical-grade acrylic with vibrant UV cured inks and also come with an official Rush Certificate of Authenticity (COA). You can purchase either piece for $49 at this location. For more information on Artovision, and to see their complete line of officially-licensed Rush pieces, visit their website at artovision3d.com. You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and watch a YouTube video demonstrating the 3-D effect of their Shadowbox art here.
