This is a museum quality 'GICLEE' Print.
(For more on what a "GICLEE" print is, please see my detailed "WHAT IS A GICLEE PRINT" further on in this auction)

A GICLEE print on canvas is your closest option to an original.
Giclee's can be printed directly onto canvas or fine art papers, and use a wide spectrum of color.
Giclee's have a higher resolution than offset lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy.

The French word Giclee means to spray or squirt. 
The giclee process uses incredibly accurate computer controlled jets to apply ink to watercolor paper, canvas or other appropriate media.
These unique jets are able to vary the width of the ink stream to as small as 1/100th the width of human hair. It is this capability that gives the giclee its beauty.

These pigments, (the same material used to make artists oils & acrylics) are estimated to last without fading from 80 to 140 years*
* Only EPSON 'ULTRA-CHROME K3™' PIGMENT BASED INKS are used.

The Giclee should be afforded the same level of care as an original piece of art.
They are valuable works, beautiful reproductions but costly to produce.

The canvas used is specially formulated to absorb ULTRA-CHROME K3 pigments.
Using these pigmented inks will insure high color saturation, creating a brilliant product which will last many life times.

Each Giclee is an individual work of art.
It will last the rest of your life, and beyond

THEY ARE FILLED WITH INTRICACY - REPRODUCED IN MICROSCOPIC DETAIL.

~ STATEMENT FROM A LIMITED EDITION CANVAS PRINT BUYER ~

"The prints arrived today and I was very happy with all of your work. The internet pics don't do them justice. They look so much better "in person"!!! You should tell people on your web site that your prints come to life when you get them and what they see on the monitor is just a representation of the prints. I can't imagine how the real thing touches you."

WHAT IS A GICLEE ?


FRENZY FACTORY

The GICLEE (Zhee-Klay) image is the finest quality reproduction available. GICLEE on canvas is your closest option to an original painting.

GICLEE'S can be printed directly onto a variety of canvas or fine art papers, and use a wide spectrum of color.

Giclee's have a higher resolution than offset lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy.

The quality of the GICLEE print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes.
The GICLEE is commonly found in museums and art galleries.

(MORE) ~ What is a Giclee?

A giclee (zhee-KLAY) is a produced to order, high-resolution reproduction done on a special large format printer. The French word Giclee means to spray or squirt. 

The giclee process uses incredibly accurate computer controlled jets to apply ink to watercolor paper, canvas or other appropriate media. These unique jets are able to vary the width of the ink stream to as small as 1/100th the width of human hair. It is this capability that gives the giclee its beauty.

Giclee's images are the finest quality reproductions available and are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides finer color accuracy and image detail than other means of reproduction. The quality of the giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums and art galleries.

Giclee's are produced from digital images (scans or high resolution photographs) of existing artwork. The process employs seven or more colors- (In this case we are using 8 colors) -light cyan, cyan, light magenta, magenta, yellow, black, light black and extra light black, of light fast, pigmented inks and finer and more numerous print heads resulting in both a wider array of color and the ability to use various media to print on.

The ink is sprayed onto the page, actually mixing the color on the page to create true shades and hues. The colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually continuous tone, rather than tiny dots. Details are also much crisper and exactly resemble the original artwork.

I do my own printing in my art studio. The same place where I paint the paintings. I have been printing for over 10 years. I "baby" each one of my prints as the individual works of art that they are. They are a direct reflection of the quality of my work and my integrity as a seller. I carefully hand sign each one, and in some cases paint the sides and add painted embellishments. (IF THIS HAS BEEN DONE, IT WILL BE CLEARLY STATED IN THE AUCTION DESCRIPTION. ALL my prints are signed). I make sure they are perfect and flawless.

I may run up to 10 test prints for a new work before I'm satisfied with the results. Only then will I offer them to my collectors. I distribute my work through website's and EBAY. If you read what my previous buyers have to say, (Please Click here if you would like to read my feedback page) you will see that everyone who has purchased one of my limited editions canvas prints is satisfied beyond their original expectations. Your computer can not show you the fine detail and wonderful colors of these prints.

Please bid with confidence. And if you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me through EBAY or directly at "connett@sbcglobal.net"

I would not allow anything to be released as a print that does not meet my own high standard of quality. I guarantee that if you are not completely delighted with any print I send you, you can have your money refunded. Your satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed.

The Giclee therefore should be afforded the same level of care as an original piece of art.
They are valuable works, beautiful reproductions but costly to produce

The Canvas Giclee in this auction is also available unstretched at a lower cost. Please see MY OTHER AUCTIONS if you are interested.

How should I care for, and should I frame my GICLEE ?


PLANKTONAUTS

> If you are purchasing one of my pre-stretched canvases with hand painted sides, there is no need to frame the piece. Thus offsetting some of the cost of canvas. However, you can do so at a custom frame shop. If you would like me to have the GICLEE framed please E-MAIL me or call my studio at (323)-227-4099. I can have this done for you for an extra charge.

> If you are purchasing a GICLEE on FINE ART PAPER or UNSTRETCHED CANVAS, you can frame it in several ways. You can buy an inexpensive "ready-made" frame at many stores, (SEE EXAMPLE IN PICTURE #7 above) They look 'pretty good' that way, and at the minimum cost, as low as $15.00 for a 18" X 24" glass or Plexiglas enclosed frame. The most inexpensive frames can be found at TARGET and similar discount stores. However, the piece would look much better in a bit better frame. Art chains such as 'BLICKS' or 'Art Supply Warehouse' have better "ready made" frames, which are made with archival elements. These will look better and prolong the life of your Giclee. You can purchase these frames over the internet in hundreds of online stores. Your cost will go up to $35.00 and up. Many art supply chains also have "frame departments" out in the real world.

> THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT your investment is to get the job done for life. ($40.00 & $UP). Have the matte and framing done by a Pro frame shop or a framing department, in an art supply outlet. Have your fineart paper giclee mounted & matted in a frame with archival materials under 'non-reflective' glass or plexiglas. This will last at least a life time, and so will your giclee. Perhaps many life times!

> If you purchase a small unstretched canvas GICLEE, you can have it mounted on an acid-free board, and place the frame around that. This is similar to a matt job for a drawing or watercolor on paper. You don't need glass over them, but doing so will prolong the life of the print to it's maximum, (possibly 140 years).

> Prolonged exposure to DIRECT sunlight will fade the colors in your print over time. The claim of 140 years is made with the assumption that you will not hang the work in the direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when choosing a location for your work.

> Do not expose your print to moisture of any kind. Spilled water, spray or any other exposure to liquid might damage the print.

RS Connett, the Artist

Some words About the Art & the Artist

Ego, Id & SuperEgo

I hope my art will carry you to another world.

I aspire to have my art rekindle a spark of imagination in my viewer. Perhaps I can remind you that there is more to life than “the grind” that most of us are oppressed by.

Many of us grow older and become set in our ways, slowly growing colorblind to the beauty that life offers. Overwhelmed by the ordinary, mundane and repetitive nature of every day life, the magic that we believed in as children fades into foggy memory. The hardness of life makes it difficult to keep our minds open. We become fixated on simple and superficial goals. We become cynical, angry and discouraged.

I struggle to maintain some simple faiths in spite of superficiality and the randomness of tragedy. It is increasingly difficult to remember the enchantment that I once took for granted. For me, my art is a way to escape without being self destructive. More, it is a way for me to communicate in an eloquent and meaningful language.

Finally, my art is a mirror. Your interpretation of this work is a direct reflection of who you are. I hope you see something you like.

Born in 1951 in San Francisco, California, Robert Steven Connett began drawing and painting at the age of 27. He continued to create artwork as a hobby for 20 years during which time he owned and operated an insurance brokerage firm in San Francisco. He sold the firm in 1998 at age 47 after his home and art collection was destroyed by a fire. Connett moved to Los Angeles in 2003 where he began his full time art career at the age of 52.

There are artists out there who eschew traditional approaches to drawing but are nonetheless obsessed with detail as a way express what are often frightening visions of the world in general and humanity in particular. H. R. Giger and Chris Mars spring to mind. Their roots lie in the dreamlike visions of Heironymous Bosch. It is a difficult artistic path. Most who try it fail to develop a unique vision or compelling style and get mired in cliché psychedelia. This kind of work is often driven by direct experiences with drug addiction, insanity or both, which can explain the rarity of finding such artists who also have the discipline to excel. R. S. Connett has become one of those exceptions.
