1st Bi-Annual Art & Photo Giclee Exhibition 2009

WL Fine Arts Gallery

As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”.

Every picture tells a story and every artist or photographer is making it clear what is the story they are trying to convey through their works.

Today we celebrate our inaugural bi-annual art & photo Giclée exhibition. Two Buddybiz, in collaboration with WL Fine Arts, bring to you the works in print, from 5 talented artist and 6 photography maestros.

The Works exhibited range from contemporary fine art to the quintessential salon photography, children and naïve art to conceptual and abstract photography.

Giclée is the highest form of art and photo reproduction using large format inkjet technology. The Giclée reproduction process renders deep saturated colours and has a beautiful painterly quality that retains minute and subtle tints, blends and detail capturing the essence of the original artwork.

At Two Buddybiz we use exclusively HP Designjet Z-series 12 ink photo printers. Two Buddybiz is also the premier Designjet partner for photography and creative art sector for HP Malaysia.

We endorse SIHL inkjet fine art products, ranging from artistic fine art to photo barite and canvas materials. The combined solution coupled with our printmaking experience ensures color accuracy, fine details and long archival lifespan.

We are proud to be the first in this region to include RFID security tagging in all our limited edition prints, accompanied by the certificate of authenticity, with lifetime warranty.

Thank you.

A Giclee Is:
A giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) refers to both a category of collectible fine art similar to lithographs and serigraphs, as well as a type of digitally created fine art print. However, not all digital prints are giclee’s- only prints that adhere to strict printmaking standards can be called a giclee.

The word “giclee” dates back to 1989 and is a french term roughly meaning “spray or squirt” which refers to the digital printing process. During printing, millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second are applied to the print media. The best giclee printers provide a minimum of 1,200 dpi resolution and blend six or more colors of ink. At 2Buddybiz, we use HP Designjet Z3100 photo printers which runs on 12 ink cartridges for the best quality and most accurate colour and monochrome reproduction.

A giclee is a high-end fine art print recognized as “the next best thing to owning the original, or in the case of certain art created by digital artists, each giclee is an “original”. Giclee’s can be found on display in the world’s finest museums and art galleries, often they can be hard to distinguish from originals.

Giclee defined. A giclee is:

“A fine art print created by a printmaker adhering to strict standards that utilizes special high resolution digital equipment throughout the workflow process leaving no evidence of the technology used, while providing archival quality consistent with that of a collectible fine art print.”

Are All Giclee’s The Same?
Not at all! Like any craft or trade, there are different levels of expertise and equipment at any given shop. The best, longest lasting giclee’s are made by craftsman who are masters of their trade and work with the finest equipment available.

As mentioned 2Buddybiz uses the latest technology in archival inks, acid free media and eco-friendly printmaking.  Our prints are rated to last up to 100+ years without noticeable fading (according to industry standard testing by accredited labs).  Most prints are even water resistant.

A Printmaster
A master printmaker or ‘Printmaster’ has hands-on participation in the reproduction of 300+ different paintings and photography works before earning the status. A Printmaster is someone with the utmost skill and is recognized by his peers as such.

Printmaster, digital portrait photographer and co-founder, Wesley Wong has been crafting giclee prints since 2005. He is one of the most experienced, capable and tech-savvy giclee experts you’ll find in Malaysia. With an artists keen eye for color and value, he produces great looking prints— often complimented by artists claiming, “The prints look better than the original”.

Over the years, Wesley has worked directly with manufacturers to find the best products and technology available.

Why Giclee Makes Sense
Working Capital. The initial cost to bring an edition to the marketplace as a giclee is a fraction of the cost to produce lithographs or serigraphs. Instead of just one painting, you can afford to print several paintings.

Print On Demand. With digital printmaking, you can order on demand and purchase prints as you need them vs. all at once. Order one, a few, several or many-you decide, however, discounts apply to volume orders.

Better Prints. Giclee prints provide noticeably better print quality and longer lasting prints.

Flexibility. You have many options available, such as being able to fill special requests for extra big or smaller prints, hand embellishing or customizing.
