Sun Studio – Birthplace of Rock Music Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
This birthplace of rock music canvas print features none other than the famous Sun Studio. The historic Memphis landmark depicted is where Elvis Presley, among many others, pioneered Rock ‘n’ Roll music in the 1950’s.
Sun Studio opened its doors in January of 1950 at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee. It was initially known as the Memphis Recording Studio but shared the building with Sun Records. What would become known in due time as Sun Studio is credited with the first rock and roll recording. Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats recorded that single – “Rocket 88” in 1951. It was a place that over the next two decades saw the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Charlie Feathers, Ray Harris, Warren Smith, Charlie Rich, and Jerry Lee Lewis. And it wasn’t just Rock music. Country, R&B, and Blues greats also cut records at Sun Studio in those golden years of music in the mid 20th century.
Sam Phillips sold the record label in 1969 and the studio was closed for a number of years but never forgotten. Sun Studio was later re-born and today’s artists have recorded under the same roof as the legends of the past. And Sun Studio has become something of a mecca for people visiting musical Memphis today.
I came up with the concept of this square format canvas print because I thought it would complement a wall decorated with vintage vinyl album art. I pictured mostly smaller prints being purchased but as is often the case, some of you have surprised me by buying large canvas prints. Perhaps as a memento of a music history pilgrimage to Memphis, Tennessee to see Sun Studio?
Canvas Print – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a timeless way to enhance your home or office decor. Whether your style is traditional or modern, canvas art offers a versatile and sophisticated look that complements any space.
Each canvas print is custom-made to order, printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas using archival inks. This ensures your artwork will last a lifetime, retaining its vibrant colors without fading or losing detail.
When placing your order, you’ll have the option to choose between glossy or matte finishes. The glossy finish adds a subtle sheen, making colors appear more vivid, while the matte finish offers a softer look with reduced glare, making it ideal for brightly lit spaces. Let the natural light in your room guide your choice.
You can also select from three wrap styles for your canvas print:
- Mirrored wrap: The image extends around the sides of the canvas, preserving the integrity of the original artwork. This is the most popular and versatile option.
- Black wrap: A solid black color on the sides of the canvas.
- White wrap: A clean white color on the sides of the canvas.
A preview of each wrap style is available for you to view when selecting your option.
Once printed, your canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy wooden frame made of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes 5 to 7 business days. Your canvas print will be shipped in secure packaging with a hanging wire attached and all necessary hardware included, making it a convenient, ready-to-hang artwork.
