The Production of a Giclee Print

The process consists of using hi-resolution digital cameras to photograph the original painting in a purpose built art studio. Each image captured is scrutinised and in most cases under the supervision of the artist to ensure a close reproduction of the original is achieved.

The giclee method (pronounced "zhee-clay" is French for "squirt" or "spray".) is to spray small droplets of ultra chromatic inks onto a variety of substrates ranging from fine art papers to canvas. All prints have been tested for light fastness and UV light and will last up to 75 years. Each print is approved, signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iain Faulkner

Iain Faulkner was born in Glasgow in 1973 where he was raised and educated. He graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a BA (Honours)Degree in Fine Art. From the onset of his professional career, the fashionable and trendy routes of contemporary and conceptual art, adopted by many of his peers, was not an option. He chose instead to follow the more difficult and demanding path of figurative painting wherein clear,concise yardsticks of competence, draughtsmanship and painterly skills can be measured and judged, warts and all.

James McNaught

Born in Glasgow in 1948, James is the only son of parents who worked as carpet designers at Templeton’s Carpet Factory in Glasgow. His earliest memory of a painting is by Picasso of a lady whom he firmly believed to be his mother. James enjoyed drawing and painting at school but not much else and in 1966, without any formal qualifications, he was accepted unconditionally at Glasgow School of Art, where he stayed until 1970, and where, he says he would have been happy to stay for the rest of his life.

McNaught’s women are statuesque and he often portrays them in their boudoirs, surrounded by intimate paraphernalia, their exquisitely tiny feet imprisoned in unfeasibly high heeled shoes.

James works full time as art teacher in a Catholic boys school, which he finds difficult as it does not allow him enough time to paint. He began exhibiting with Portal Gallery in 1978. He has also exhibited in Amsterdam and in Munich. His work is in significant private collections in Australia, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.A and he has twenty paintings in a collection in Costa Rica.
