Art Prints vs. Original Paintings

Sometimes people think they are getting an original painting and they end up getting a print. To avoid confusion, it is becoming important to know how to distinguish a print from an original painting.

Art Prints are multiples of the same piece, created through a printmaking technique. One of the most common types of prints is the one produced by a photo-mechanical process. The image is photographically transferred from an original source and is mass reproduced. Do not confuse this with original prints.

Original Prints are artwork from a matrix, which is generally a single metal plate; stone block, wooden block or screen that is hand-made by the artist. Each impression is done by the artist or artisan and the matrix is later destroyed. The prints are traditionally signed and numbered in pencil by the artist and generally called “Limited Edition Prints”. The numbering is done in this format: 149/300.

Abstract Art and Abstract Artists: A Starting Point

Abstract art itself is commonly defined as being a medium that utilises a “visual language of form, colour, and line to create a composition” or something that may or may not “exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world” (Rudolph Arnheim – Visual Thinking). One might posit that in layman’s terms, that roughly translates to something along the lines of: “the abstract artist communicates via the medium of drawing, existential messages that one cannot usually see”. Or, even simpler: the abstract artist pours interesting parts of themselves into their work, the meaning behind which can take on a variety of truths – after all, it is abstract.

Abstract can often involve being thrown in at the proverbial deep end, particularly when one has little experience of the subject matter first-hand. Perhaps the easiest way – or at least one of the easier ways – would be to be introduced to some of the masters of the genre, some of the people that have paved the way for abstract art by delivering such renowned and lauded works………….read this article…

Solo Exhibitions at UAC and Vintage21

Administrator — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:28:58 +0000

Hi all,

This month my artwork is being featured at two locations in downtown Raleigh.

At the United Arts Council I exhibit mostly small paintings, some landscapes and geometric art. At Vintage21 some of my largest artwork, landscapes and flowers are being displayed.

The reception for both of them was "First Friday" March 4th. It was nice to meeting new people, other artists and enjoying with family and friends. Thanks all for coming and especially to the organizers from both galleries, Jessica, Meredith and the board of directors of the UAC for the opportunity, wine and food.

If anyone happens to be in the Triangle area, it is not too late to go and see my solo exhibitions. If you need more information, please contact me.

Enjoy these pictures:

Gallery at Vintage21 – March 1st – 31th
