| 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.

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.
