Artwork Description:
The original artwork showcases a geometric pattern created with fineliner, digitally refined, and highlighted with golden touches before being transferred onto fabric. The fabric is then mounted on wood and enriched with structure paste. It's completed with multiple layers of spray paint, a blend of pigmented paste, and resin, all encapsulated within a clear resin coating.
"Dusk (Sundown)" serves as a poignant visual metaphor, capturing the transition from the vibrant light of sundown to the quiet embrace of the evening sky. It reflects not only the stillness that twilight brings but also the untapped potential of life as one day draws to a close. This artwork, adorned with intricate golden geometric patterns and a rich blend of textured paste, colored and clear resin, and gold foil accents, encapsulates the beauty and significance of day's end.
As part of a trio exploring the sun's journey—its beginning, peak, and finale—"Dusk (Sundown)" symbolizes closure and renewal. It marks the peaceful conclusion of another day while heralding the promise of the restful night ahead in preparation for life's continuous cycle. Together with its companions, "Golden Hour" and "Dawn (Sunrise)," this piece serves as a thoughtful reminder of the gift each new day brings—an opportunity to strive, to grow, and to embrace the endless possibilities from sunrise to sunset.
About the printing process:
Giclée Inkjet printing, a method where ink is meticulously sprayed onto paper in a fine dot pattern known as a half-tone, endows prints with a distinct fine art feel through its use of textured papers. This technique is celebrated for its ability to produce prints with deeply saturated colors, thanks to the vibrant pigments forming the inks. It offers a wide selection in paper thickness and texture, catering to various artistic preferences. The brilliance of Giclée prints lies in their vivid and saturated hues, setting them apart in the realm of art reproduction. Artists and illustrators favor Giclée prints for their precision in replicating the original artwork's medium. Furthermore, the archival quality of Giclée prints is remarkable, enduring approximately 40 years in daylight and up to 200 years in optimal dark storage conditions, preserving the legacy of the artwork for future generations.
