The term gicleé is French for fine spray of ink. Gicleé prints are printed on the best acid-free fine art papers or on high quality canvas. The process of a microscopic spray of ink conveys with clarity, brillance and fidelity to hold all the subtlety, texture and paint surface qualities of the original painting. Gicleés are included in many leading museum collections, having the highest quality that art and technology are capable of producing. As with original watercolors these reproductions should be protected from moisture, fingerprints and direct sunlight. With improved ink quality and proper care, gicleé will last a lifetime. Phyllis Knight Studio makes gicleé reproductions of original artwork and also works with numerous artists to create their own gicleés.
Gicleés are all signed and numbered by Phyllis Knight; editions are limited to 250.
Gicleés are unmatted and unframed and are available in the sizes below. Custom sizes can be ordered but must be proportional to the size of the painting.
