GICLÉE PRINT

La stampa dei nostri artwork avviene seguendo un procedimento chiamato Giclée, messo a punto da Jack Duganne, maestro litografo californiano.
Combinando la qualità del disegno digitale con supporti e stampanti di alto profilo, le stampe fine art risultano fedeli all’originale e durature, come nelle esposizioni nelle gallerie e nei musei di tutto il mondo.
Le stampanti a largo formato Epson impiegate nella realizzazione, con i loro inchiostri a pigmenti a base d’acqua, garantiscono la durata di colori luminosi e vibranti. Le stampe, lontane dall’esposizione diretta alla luce solare, non subiscono alterazioni per oltre 100 anni.

MATERIALS

La scelta dei supporti è il risultato di test su diversi tipi di carta e di tela, arrivando a selezionare due tipologie di carta e una di tela, tutte 100% cotone. La Museum paper, prodotta a Dassel in Germania, è una delle carte fine art in assoluto più pregiate. Fine Art Paper e Canvas sono di altissima qualità e la loro produzione avviene a Châteauroux in Francia.

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE

Tutte le stampe sono oggetto di controllo minuzioso e approvate dall’autrice prima dell’apposizione della firma.
Ciascuna stampa su carta riceve l’apposizione di un timbro a secco per attestarne l’originalità. Sul retro della tela la firma dell’autrice certifica l’originalità dell’opera.

CANVAS

Canvas 390g 100% cotone

Questa tela opaca 390 g/m2 risulta pregevole al tatto per la sensazione piacevolmente naturale data dalle fibre di cotone.
Il bianco intenso produce effetti di colore compatto e brillante, mentre il retro è color canapa naturale.

FRAME MOUNTING

Wood frame

Le nostre stampe su tela possono essere montate su telai in legno con spessore 3 cm e consegnate pronte per essere appese alla parete.
I telai sono in legno stagionato e la costruzione avviene a mano. Maestri artigiani completano l’opera tendendo e fissando la tela.
Per garantire l’integrità dei materiali durante la spedizione, le stampe su tela di alcuni formati più grandi vengono spedite senza telaio, arrotolate e inserite in tubi di cartone rigido.

HANDCRAFTED QUALITY

Il processo di fissaggio della tela sul telaio richiede maestria e attenzione.
La scelta di un laboratorio tradizionale nel distretto artistico di Roma, tra via Ripetta e via Margutta, è una scelta che garantisce il pregio del risultato finale.
Le tele sono montate a mano, tirate con pinza tenditela e fissate con punti metallici secondo la tradizione artigianale.
