Stuart Semple & Liquitex have launched SUBSTANCE, a collaborative collection of twelve hyper-saturated colours that refuse to behave.
More than just a paint range, SUBSTANCE is a cultural flashpoint. A collision of two forces who believe colour (color) should be democratic, disruptive, and unfiltered.
SUBSTANCE sees Liquitex hand creative reins to Stuart Semple, the British artist and colour activist whose fearless approach to creativity has inspired a generation. Semple has spent decades redefining our relationship with colour, fighting to make it accessible, emotional, and free.
Now in an unprecedented collaboration, his iconic vision meets Liquitex, makers of the world’s first acrylic paint and a catalyst that prompts artists to release their creative energy. The result is a collection of unapologetically extra pigments and uncompromising formulations that channel Semple’s unique creative universe through Liquitex’s legendary quality.
The collection of 12 colours was thoughtfully curated by Semple to include a balanced palette of core classics and unexpected brights: Riot, Rogue, Acid, Ghost, Grot, Attack, Brat, Surge, Wild, Tonic, Stash and Miller.
“Artists’ ideas have substance. They matter more than ever. They’re substantial. And the materials we use to bring them to life matter too,”
said Stuart Semple.
“SUBSTANCE is paint for a new creative generation — bold, loud, potent, and irreverent. It’s for makers tearing up creativity every day, abandoning convention, and demanding materials that keep up with their vision.”
The collaboration merges Semple’s mission to democratize creativity with Liquitex’s legacy of innovation in acrylics. Together, they’ve created a collection designed to fuel artists’ boldest ambitions and unlock unfiltered self-expression.
“SUBSTANCE is what happens when creativity and colour collide at full force,”
said Sarah Clark, VP Marketing, Liquitex.
“With Stuart, we’ve built a collection that refuses to behave —we are excited to hand this over to creatives to take it further.”
Since its release, SUBSTANCE has been embraced by artists worldwide who are ready to challenge convention and bring pure feeling to the surface.
