Chicago retailer Alley Urban Cityscape Oil Painting - 14x18in Giclee Print

This painting is one of my favorite types to do - industrial chic with a minimal color palette. This scene is of a typical Chicago alley behind the brownstones; this one was in the Edgewater neighborhood I'm in probably the most often. I was attracted to the strong light and electrical wires hanging like festive holiday garlands. "Electric Alley" is now available 3/4 size as a 14x18" giclee print.

I normally frame my sample 14x18" prints in a standard 24x18" frame with custom mat in a color that best complements the art (in this case a darker cool brown would be nice). Your neighborhood Hobby Lobby or Michaels can do this for you and they retailer both carry this size frame if you don't want to go to a specialty framer. Typically, they will leave 1/4" around the top and sides and 3/4" on the bottom.

You can also order this with a mat pre-cut to fit a 24x18" frame in soft greyish beige as shown.

Giclée printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints on paper or canvas. The term "giclée" (pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY") is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclée prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto your choice of fine art substrates.

Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, giclée prints have undergone extensive third party fade testing. While the predicted display life depends on many variables, giclée prints made with wide-gamut pigmented inks are estimated to last over 80 years without noticeable fade.

High grade, smooth finish paper is used for prints, picking up all the detail of the original canvas. Only 100 are produced in this series. Each paper print is signed by me in pencil in the lower left-hand corner with title in middle and edition number in the right. My limited edition prints are imaged and printed by Osio Brown Editions.
