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.
