We specialise in producing limited edition prints from original canvases
painted by our artist,
Alan Rimell. The original paintings are in acryllic and range in size from
20cm x 20cm upto
1m x 1.2m. It can take anything from 2 weeks to 3 months to complete each
painting.

The canvases are reproduced and printed by a specialist commercial print
company on to a
textured paper only available from a trade paper mill. The print process
used is lithography which
is how almost all quality print is produced. We tried and tested a variety
of paper stocks until we
found one that gave us the special feel we were looking for. The reprographic
company may
adjust some colour levels at the scanning stage to aid the print processes
and give us the best
achievable result.
Each print is then signed and numbered by the artist, mounted with an ice
white
bevel cut mount and backboard. It is then inserted into a cellophane sleeve
with a certificate
of authenticity. The size, including mount, is 500mm x 400mm. Our print
quantities are not only
guaranteed by us but also by the commercial print company on the certificate
of authenticity.
The paper and processes we use are not available to the general public
and are only
obtained commercially in volume.
We do not paint decoration, pop art in flat colour or the same thing over
and over again at a
number of sizes in different colours pretending it's original.
Our paintings are not for sale through ebay and are one off original paintings,
painted with
passion and feeling. We know that there is quite a lot of stuff all over
ebay produced using a
scanned images and then using Photoshop or some other graphics package creating
a print.
This is a shame as it has taken only a little knowledge of using a computer
to end up with an
image that really has no artistic input which is then claimed as original
art that a trained monkey
could produce.
On the flip side Alan, our artist, graduated in '85 (when you had to be
able to draw and paint!!)
with a BA(hons) in art and has been working commercially for over 20 years.
