What is giclee art, and what is canvas art?? What is mixed media?
Giclee is a french derived word for ink squirt or ink spray. It is a neologism from the 1980s. On the internet, when you search 'wall art' or 'canvas art', the most likely thing you will encounter is in fact a print on canvas, not original art. Technology has moved so far ahead in ink-jet printing, that very clear and high-quality reproductions can be made of original paintings. There is also a huge variation of quality levels in the a) inks b) substrate c) printing machines.
Just how close to the original depends on several other variables, eg. the medium and texture of the original, for example, an abstract with chunky impasto 3D effects will appear like a print of chunky impasto, whereas paintings created without thickness or collage can be reproduced to appear closer to the original.
PORT ART MIXED MEDIA GICLEE ARTWORKS
‘Mixed media’ refers to the integrated use of different techniques and materials .
The mixed media giclee canvases are custom ordered through ouronline gallery, the actual original artists hand finish your custom-ordered giclee artwork with layers of mixed media for visual appeal, and as there is a framing studio on site, we can stretch it and even add beautiful floating frames that can tie the wall art in with your room decor.
Why order a mixed media giclee artwork on canvas?
Some people are in the market for beautiful original art, either for decor and ambience enhancement or for investment, or both.
Other people want to enjoy beautiful imagery on their walls but some do not have the budget for an original artwork. A regular giclee print on canvas just looks like a print, whereas the giclee artworks created by Jennifer Webb, John Louis Lloyd and Coco of the Port Art collective are hand-finished and have a beautiful original finish/ texture for the same price range as a print.(they can be collected or delivered rolled or stretched/ framed as required).
