Original Limited Edition Wall Prints.

As Ansel Adams mastered the print and Rembrandt planned his pieces to meticulous size and scale, I believe an art piece is more than a simple image. For me it’s a crafted work meant to illustrate my vision of a scene. It’s a slow deliberate process starting before the exposure is made and following thru into detail work and carefully planned printing.

My signature originals are limited prints, each is supervised personally and hand signed and . These are generally small run, handcrafted pieces made to the highest standards. They start at around thirty inches, are hand signed and include a certificate of authenticity. You can see base prices on signature originals here.

Editions:

• Limited Edition Originals: These are Gavin’s certified signature pieces and are released in editions of 2 to 500 prints. When an edition is limited, the signed prints of that style and size will be cut off at the specified quantity and will no longer available. Once limited editions are gone, they’re gone. Limited editions are hand signed and include a certificate of authenticity.
• Proof Edition: Proof editions are short runs, generally made during the process of refining and planning before the master original is made. Because of this, they vary in size and medium, sometimes mounted, sometimes loose. Though of high quality, each may be slightly different and may have small flaws, making them unique pieces. Not all images are available as proofs and they are very limited. Proof editions come hand signed and may be noted with a proof number.

Presentation Styles: Here’s a look at some of my favorite presentation mediums.

Classical Bonded Canvas: This process has been around for decades and has withstood the test of time. It’s one of the finest methods I’ve found of presenting photographs and pays homage to Centuries of paintings and art. This is more refined than a Giclee process. The print itself is separated from the backing paper and the image is bonded to a real canvas using a press. The resulting piece is tightly stretched over wooden bars. It is very durable and can be framed with no need for glass.

True Metal. Another favorite of mine. The image is surfaced onto a sheet of sturdy aluminum. The idea of metal images hearkens back to the Tintypes of the late nineteenth century. This is a modern process however that uses a method to fuse the final image onto a coated sheet of aluminum. No other print medium can achieve the nearly three dimensional depth that can be had from a metal. That does not mean it’s better than canvas however. Both are stunning and each are suited for different images.

Fine Art Paper Prints: Gavin’s fine art prints are generally presented on a fiber based paper. They are mounted with a hard backed presentation by being bonded directly to a firm substrate allowing them to be presented with or without glass. These fine art prints can vary from classic satin papers to hand polished fiber rags. But all are refined and beautiful.
