Many people think this might sound like a contradiction - original print. It is important to understand that the artist selects a medium to create their artwork, whether it is a choice of paints (oils, water colours etc.) or a choice of print medium (lithograph, etching etc.) – each offers a different result. What you should know is that the artist having made the choice then hand draws the image from which we print – a different drawing for each colour, making use of overlap of colours to create additional colours if so desired – it depends on the artist and how they like to work. This means that the print is the original, as it doesn’t exist in any other form. All materials from which we have made the print are destroyed on completion ensuring that it can’t be reprinted. The fact that there are a number of images in the edition doesn’t mean that there is any less originality in the image, also being hand printed there will be natural differences in each copy. The artist is in full control of the printmaking process, selecting the paper on which we print and the colour of the inks used, hand mixed to their exact choice. All the materials used in making these prints are archival, ensuring that they will not fade over the years. |
