Giclees

In addition to original paintings, giclee prints of original art are now also available at Sea Grape. Giclees are high quality digital reproductions of paintings printed on archival paper or canvas, using archival inks. Giclees faithfully capture the beauty of the original work, and are fade resistant and long lasting. Giclees are usually printed in limited editions, and are signed and numbered by the artist. These prints have become increasingly popular at galleries as an economical alternative for the consumer. Since giclees can be printed individually as needed, and are available in different sizes and prices, customers are able to obtain an image that exactly suits their decor needs. Several of Sea Grape's two-dimensional artists have giclee prints of their artwork available in specially marked bins, so stop in and browse!
