Our Prints
Our fine art prints are printed on top quality materials using ‘giclee’ inkjet technology designed to last many decades. We only offer prints which are made to order. They are individually signed and assembled into handmade frames by experienced craftsmen, who have created the work I have exhibited in exhibitions at The Mall Galleries, Royal College of Art and elsewhere in the UK. These photographs are not made available for volume printing or through image libraries.
Prints Available on the Website
There are three different framing print options available on the website. Please contact us if you are looking for something different.
Classic Framed Canvas: this is a mounted varnished print, framed in a broad natural wood frame (dark brown, black or white). It is a slighter softer presentation than the other two alternatives and well suited to atmospheric landscapes, for example. Very light and easy to transport.
Acrylic: This is the other end of the scale in terms of being a very modern presentation with the greatest clarity and vivid colours. The prints have a hidden frame so that the print ‘floats’ away from the wall.
Floating Fine Art Print. Usually printed on a smooth fine art paper that offers great clarity and detail. The print is mounted so that it ‘floats’ way from the backing board in the box frame. The use of TruVue high clarity/low reflective glass allows the print to stand out so you almost feel you can touch it. Suitable for any image and a classic presentation that will stand the test of time.
Editions
Some of the prints are Limited Editions while others are number series which may continue to run or be closed off at any time. Limited editions were originally created because the printing plate wore out with use and so an individual plate could only be used to produce a finite number of prints, the early copies being clearer and hence more valuable than the later copies. The plate could often be then refreshed by the artist to create a new ‘state’ that would allow the plate to be continue to be used. Rembrandt created a number of states of his etchings in this way, each slightly different from its predecessor. None of this is relevant with photographic or digital printing where an unlimited number of identical copies can be produced. However I am developing some limited edition ‘impressions’ of particular images which would reference the tradition of creating variations on the theme of the original.
