What Is A Mixed Media Edition?

Before the print has been enhanced.
|
Over the past decade, art and technology have merged to give birth to an
exquisite art form called Giclée.
A Giclée (zhee-clay) is a superior quality limited edition of an original
painting, reproduced in low edition sizes on canvas or museum quality
watercolour paper.
The Giclée 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.

Work in progress.
|
Giclée 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 Giclée 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 enhanced version.
|
For example, Brent Heighton enjoys taking the creative experience to new
levels by making several Giclées from an original work of art, and then
re-visiting each Giclée image individually to add new strokes and colours.
In doing so, he makes each Giclée distinctively original.
The art form of Giclée has opened up a whole new world for collectors who
are looking for superior quality reproductions. Artists like Brent Heighton
are committed to upholding the integrity of the art form by retaining low
edition sizes and hand-enhancing each piece, making the Giclée a sound and
enjoyable investment.
