Home / Blogs / Demand of Canvas Print in India in present time

Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate – maybe, this is the reason why different forms of art still continue to flourish.

It was the love for aesthetics and all things beautiful that gave birth to fine art. If you travel back in time to the historical era, fine arts broadly existed under five categories:

  • Painting
  • Sculpture
  • Architecture
  • Music
  • Poetry

Even theatre and dance was included in the fine arts category later on because of the exceptional grace that individuals showcased on the stage.

In addition to the above-mentioned, today we have more forms of art joining the category of fine arts, such as:

  • Film
  • Photography
  • Video production or editing
  • Design
  • Sequential design
  • Conceptual art
  • Printmaking

Canvas Artwork for Dining Room

Do you know what the word ‘fine’ actually stands for in ‘fine art’? If you thought that it is some sort of measure of quality, you are certainly wrong. It basically means the purity of the art-form and a love for art.

India being a country rich in its culture, heritage and diversity, it provides the perfect opportunity for nourishing different forms of art. From painters to sculptors to film-makers to singers and dancers, it is one country that harnesses the power of art and applies it to varied fields.

One such field where fine art is really making its mark is canvas printing. With the revolutionary giclee printing, it is now possible to preserve pieces of fine art and printing them detail-by-detail. With the passage of time, a lot of paintings seem to have become destroyed, but canvas printing seems to breathe life into them.

Not just the old paintings, but giclee printing can even add life to new-age digital photographs and help individuals to frame it. By combining fine art with giclee canvas printing, stalwarts are making an attempt to make sure that art becomes evergreen.

Coating a Canvas Print Protects the Painting

A painting or photographic picture is slave to the onslaught of time. On the other hand, canvas prints can be coated with a protective cover that keeps it from harm’s way. The print will remain as good as new for years to come without the need of much maintenance. You can even choose the kind of paper you want for the print to the type of coat.

Protecting Prints on Canvas

Fine Art Captured in Canvas

Canvas printing is a wonderful way to preserve paintings and pictures that have existing since time immemorial. Even museums are warming up to this idea and are increasingly opting for canvas printing of the paintings that are displayed at their wall. This way, they are making sure that the fine piece of arts is thoroughly maintained and they will not fall victim to the tortures of time.

As technology is advancing at a rapid pace, even fine giclee printers are being available in the market. Equipped with the latest technology, canvas printing promises to provide the highest possible reproductions that you have ever seen. It is not for nothing that exhibitions and museums all over the world are going crazy over such technology.

India is Highly Appreciative of Great Art

When it comes to appreciating art, India definitely takes the cake away. India is a growing economy and along with everything else, this country is showing a keen interest in preserving its fine art.

This urge has pushed India to adopt canvas printing technology. The demand for both fine art and canvas printing is keeping pace with one another. There are art connoisseurs who love to hang fine art in their living room, as well as, decorate their office spaces with it. There are also others who like to invest in canvas prints that are reproductions of fine art.

Indian Architecture and Sculpture

If you really ask which one is more in demand, it is going to be a very difficult question to answer. Canvas printing is fine art being represented in the modern era because the art made in yesteryears need to be preserved and the future generation need to be aware of the great artists that India was blessed with.

The demand for both is highly increasing and art as a whole is beginning to capture an extremely important position in the hearts and life of the Indian people. This art revolution is something that will take some time to die down or maybe it won’t.

Home / Blogs / Information on Giclee Printing
Giclee prints are high quality digital inkjet prints produced on art paper. The word Giclee (“g-clay”) comes from the French word gicler meaning “to squirt, spurt, or spray”.

About Giclee Printing

The Definition: Giclee (zhee-klay) – The French word “Giclee” is a feminine noun that means a spray or a spurt of liquid. The word may have been derived from the French verb “gicler” meaning “to squirt”. In giclee printing, no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting.

giclee (zhee-clay) n. 1. a type of digital fine-art print. 2. Most often associated with reproductions; a Giclee is a multiple print or exact copy of an original work of art that was created by conventional means (painting, drawing, etc.) and then reproduced digitally, typically via inkjet printing.

The Term: The term “Giclee print” connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The Giclee printing process provides better colour accuracy than other means of reproduction.

The Process: Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Colour to 12-Colour ink-jet printers. Among the manufacturers of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, MacDermid Colorspan, & Hewlett-Packard. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets.
The Advantages: Giclee prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and reasonable cost. The prohibitive up-front cost of mass production for an edition is eliminated. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film inherently does. Another tremendous advantage of Giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
The Quality: The quality of the Giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
