'Bearing the Ring-bearer' Giclée Print
This design is a slight departure for me. I usually work in an 1800s Ukiyo-e style, but in this case, I adopted an Art Nouveau aesthetic specifically inspired by the Russian illustrator Ivan Bilibin.
Art Nouveau was a European illustration movement from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Art historians have drawn a direct line connecting Japanese Ukiyo-e and Art Nouveau. The heavy emphasis on line, flat color and stylized graphical elements share a very close resemblance to late Ukiyo-e art.
NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:
1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!
2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.
Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.
This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
