Giclée Print

The Term : Giclée (pronounced Zhee-Clay) is a French phrase refering to an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high-resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper.

The Printing Process : Giclée prints are created typically using professional 12-Color ink-jet printers. The paper or canvas is carefully attached to a drum that spins while infinitely small pixels of rich, vibrant archival inks are sprayed at a very high speed. The Giclée printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction and renders an amazingly smooth an consistent image.

The Quality : The quality of the Giclée print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries. Giclée prints have become the standard in the limited edition print market.

The Market : Numerous examples of Giclée prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. Recent auctions of giclee prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and $22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans (April 23/24 2004, Photographs, New York, Phillips de Pury & Company.)

About the Print

"Heart of the Sunrise - Arpeggio Amplified" is an explosion of color and energy on a glorious summer day. The colors are like flashes of sunlight. In music, the arpeggio is a broken chord where the notes are played or sung in succession rather than simultaneously. The word is Italian and means, "in the manner of the harp."

I think of my paintings first as compositions in the same manner as a music composer. Chords are elements coming together in both form and structure of the piece. When I paint the composition, I often feel like I am creating chords of colors, finding the balance between the feeling I want to express, the tonality of the colors used and the balance of the colors within the overall composition. Here the Sunrise Arpaggio chords are amplified through the shape dynamics, the gestures of the figures portrayed and the hot colors use.
