"Giclee" is a style of fine art that uses modern printers, mostly ink jet printers with 7 to 12 colours, and digital art. Modern artists who paint digitally are using this method more and more. Because of this, there is no such thing as "original" art. It can also help artists on a tight budget because they can reprint copies of the digital original when they need to. This means less waste. Giclee is also used to make better prints of older original art that has been digitally scanned as the first step in the process.
The great thing about Giclee art is that any digital art can be printed on a variety of materials, such as canvas and specialty papers, making it look very professional. Modern printers are so good that instead of the old dot patterns, the flow of colour and texture is very smooth, making for a great finish.
Even though the Giclee method can be used for any style or format of fine art, it has become very popular in tropical areas. For example, Hawaiian Giclee prints have become very popular in the art world. Even though the more traditional artists in the art world didn't like the Giclee format at first, it is now firmly established as a modern art form. Galleries are now showing Giclee art, and collectors are really interested in it. This has led to the development of a Giclee market place.
Giclee is making a name for itself and becoming more and more popular in an art world that is often resistant to new styles or methods that go against the way things have always been done. This is a great example of how traditional art can work with new technology.
