CAT | Giclee Prints

We were delighted to produce a total of 25 giclee prints for Pam Weinstock’s exhibition at the Strand Gallery in London wc2. Ranging in sizes from A1 to A0 the prints were exhibited at her solo exhibition “Des Femme”.

From Pam’s Blog:
Pam Weinstock’s work is rooted in a playful exploration of femininity. Shot against a background of London and New York skylines, the English countryside, Paris parks and Tuscan orchards, from women in ball gowns to headless rows of corybantic, gartered thighs, Pam captures moments of intimacy and abandon in the three photographic series from which this, her first solo exhibition, is drawn.
Delighting in unexpected contrasts and juxtapositions, the artist subverts her own carefully staged shots that reflect a background in fashion photography: women in ball gowns are caught off guard, checking a hem or considering their reflections in the looking glass of a hotel corridor, whilst an elegant portrait of a woman in a hat, evoking an early Cecil Beaton portrait, is given a whimsical twist as the sitter seems to walk out of the composition, leaving a stone lion as the surprised and surprising subject. The series of burlesque figures is partly provocative and partly mischievously humorous, as several of the protagonists take a break from seductive posing to play golf in the bathroom.

Giclee Prints

Giclee Prints

We had a great time meeting everyone at Photovision in Windsor and it was really nice to see many of our customers face to face. We had a selection of our products on display which included our canvas prints, giclee prints, switchframes and perspex prints.

As you can see it was a very modest stand we had on this occasion. Basically just a table!

There were a couple of requests for sample giclee packs; this is something we’ve been thinking about for a while and we want to make available. The best way for us to do this is to make a sample pack available online for people to order for just £5 to cover costs. If you’re in a hurry to get one now just contact us and we’ll do our best to get one sent out asap. If you want to learn more about our giclee prints then see this section.

Point101 was asked by Proud Galleries to produce all the Giclee prints for its current exhibition 1996 : The Glory Days. We were delighted to take up the challenge and printed a total of 30 images; four 40 x 30″ and twenty six 20 x 24″. They were all in their native black and white except for the iconic image of Bobby Moore holding up the world cup trophy (shown below).

The images were supplied by the Mirrorpix archive and show a documentary of England’s greatest footballing year. This is an exclusive exhibition that has never been shown before and the photographs give a nostalgic peek into the life and times of that great football squad and the people involved in the historic events of 1966.

We decided to produce the giclee prints on a professional Illford Pearl paper at 1440 dpi. We tweaked the images to help bring back the authentic film feel of that era – which was the method in which they were produced and everyone was very happy with the results!

After we delivered the images to Proud, they were then captioned, embossed and framed for the exhibition.
