Giclee print "Blue Fantasy Fan"

This work is a giclee artwork created from an original painting created in 2018, 13 years after the sliding door painting was created.
Giclee ( What is Giclee Printmaking?
Giclee, which means "spray" in French, is a cutting-edge printing technique that does not use plates, unlike lithography or silkscreen printing. The original painting is scanned at high resolution and the digital data is then used to create the artwork . The print is printed on the finest watercolor paper, "Morrow," and boasts high resolution, wide color gamut, and excellent archival properties.
Giclee is a technique that reproduces subtle nuances such as the unevenness of a work and the texture of the canvas, and most faithfully expresses the artist's unique "color" and "touch."
The giclee print will be signed by Kimura Hideki to mark it as an official work.
