Ted McLaren creates an original oil / acrylic
painting in full wall hanging size. We then digitally capture the image in very high
resolution and produce gicleé (gee-clay) prints.
The French word "giclée" is a feminine noun that
means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb "gicler"
meaning "to squirt".
Gicleé
prints are created one-at-a-time, using professional multi-color high-resolution wide carriage
inkjet printers. These prints have detail and depth that sets them apart from traditional
offset lithography. Our Gicleé prints are created using
pigmented archival ink and a variety of archival acid-free fine art and photo inkjet papers.
The quality of giclee prints rival traditional
silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and
photographic galleries. Numerous examples of giclee 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.)
While our website contains a variety of limited / numbered prints available on paper, the fine
art giclée digital printing process is also available on
stretched canvas (standard, museum and gallery wraps), dry mount canvas and unstretched canvas in
various sizes.
We also sell the original oil / acrylic paintings. Please enquire about original oil / acrylic paintings for
availability and pricing via phone or e-mail.
