Jason and Jay Knapton, Co-Founders and Directors at Rh45, talk about why their pictures make them so proud and the vast range of images available to customers.
Since the launch of Rh45 back in 2019, the business has continued to grow and shake up the art space. The company regularly commissions and works with artists, graphic designers and photographers to create bespoke images fresh from their minds as well as working with their existing profiles. It’s all part of their core message, that they can make art and pictures to be proud of displaying, and of course, selling.
Jason and Jay Knapton, Co-Founders and Directors at Rh45, sat down with us once more to dig deeper into the vast array of images at their disposal and the uniqueness of their offer to the market. “Every element, from the frame, print and embellishment of our pictures is made in-house, at our West Yorkshire facility. All our pictures are printed directly on to glass so there is no bowing or fading with crystal clear clarity and definition,” Jay said.
Jason added: “We can also print our art onto Perspex. This means no fragile, breakable glass, with the same great finish as our glass prints, but with the ability to transport and deliver. Our liquid art really stands out.”
Why do they stand out? Rh45 uses the finest resins, pigments and other materials, as well as ‘unique liquid art techniques’ that they have created throughout years of experimenting.
“Our liquid art technicians are artists, who we have meticulously trained so that each picture is embellished to a high standard,” Jay said. “We use only the highest quality materials including resin, pigments, crushed mirror, glass and Swarovski crystals. This makes our pictures really stand out over and above any other picture manufacturer. We love to collaborate and see the results from our vision to the end picture. This means our pictures cannot be seen anywhere else and are unique to Rh45.”
From being unique to offer a vast range of images, Rh45’s catalogue is ‘extensive’ and features over 1,000 images. Jason revealed more: “Our catalogue includes many different ranges such as Flowers and Trees, Animals, Football and Rugby, Build Your Own Bar, Scenery and many, many more. There really is something there for everyone – including some of our best-selling prints in our Whitby range.”
Delving a little deeper into two of their ranges, the Football and Rugby range and Build Your Own Bar, Jay continued: “We have a large selection of football stadiums where you can choose from the standard father and son stood outside, to a fully personalised service of adding family members, hairstyles and names and numbers on to the shirts too.
“With our “BYOB” Or ‘Build Your Own Bar’ section, this is also quite the novelty, with a range of different drinks, cocktails, champagnes and glasses for your customer to mix and match to create their very own bar. We have the ability to make subtle changes to our images, so isolated colours like a brolly or a car can be changed to suit an interior.”
Striving to be ‘not just another picture company’, Rh45 is continually working on new images and ranges. Jason concluded: “If you choose us as your picture supplier you will never be bored and we’re always with the times. We love creating new images to suit the latest trends and crazes. You should feel proud of the pictures you sell and we are the Evolution of Art.”
