The Fine
Art of Giclee
Over the
past decade, art and technology have merged to give birth to an
exquisite art form called Gicee.
A Giclee (zhee-clay) is a superior quality limited edition of an
original painting, reproduced in low edition sizes on canvas or
museum quality watercolors paper.
The Giclee fine art form has revolutionized the world of fine art
reproductions. It's rich, jewel-like colours and crisp quality far
surpasses the quality of conventional limited edition reproductions.
Giclee is achieved using state-of-the-art digital image enhancement
instead of traditional photography. Unlike a canvas transfer, it is
created by a technique where ink is sprayed, rather than rolled onto
paper or canvas. The result is crisp, warm, pure tones that are
unmatched by any other printing method.
While computer technology is used as a tool, the inspiration, skill
and creativity still rests with the artist's vision and talent. The
Giclee fine art form gives artists a freedom that they've never had
before - to create and experiment beyond the limits of the original
piece of art.
The artist enjoys taking the creative experience to new levels by
making several Giclee from an original work of art, and then
re-visiting each Giclee image individually to add new strokes and
colours. In doing so, he makes each Giclee distinctively original.
The art form of Giclee has opened up a whole new world for
collectors who are looking for superior quality reproductions.
Artists are committed to upholding the integrity of the art form by
retaining low edition sizes.
