"Rassouli's mesmerizing patterns of gracefully soaring lines swirl
us into the depth of the universal unknown.....waves and vortexes that
separate and unite, that glide us from the womb, project us into endless
nothingness, encompassing, embracing, expanding...."
-- Morgan Kenny: Literally Critic, London, England
Giclee is a state of the art technology in making prints. Because no
screens are used, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs.
The dynamic color range is like serigraphy. If you put a Giclee print
on canvas next to the original painting, it is almost impossible to tell
them apart. Colors and the fine detail lines are essential elements of
Rassouli's paintings. That is why he has selected the Giclee process
to be able to present the closest to the original quality reproductions.
Each print is a result of his personal collaboration with the printer.
Before the final images are made, he checks several levels of prints
for approval of quality, colors, lines and vibrancy. This process of
proofing an image, observing the output of the printer and adjusting
color and detail sometimes takes weeks to finalize. After final print
has been made, a layer of UV light retardant and light stabilizer post-coatings
is applied to the canvas for its durability.
The size of the edition of giclee on canvas for each image is shown
next to the title of the artwork every canvas is individually signed
and numbered by Rassouli. Limited Edition Giclee on canvas are available
for the following (click on the name to get a larger view of the print):
"I have recently had a encounter with the End of Life, but
returned...at that moment I saw very similar impressions. I am
deeply touched by Rassouli's art. It gives me the inspiration I
am looking for in my design with fabrics and quilting."
-- Gisela Rahn, California USA
Artist enhanced is a giclee printed on canvas through the process explained
above. After the final print has been made, and a layer of UV light retardant
has been applied to it, Rassouli takes the print and adds his personal
touches to it. This process of hand embellishing makes the artwork one
of a kind, and different from other works created in the same manner.
After the work has been completed, Rassouli signs and numbers each
canvas individually. The results are museum-quality prints that are
hard to tell from the originals. Accompanying each artist enhanced
work is a certificate of authenticity signed by Rassouli and issued
to the name of the purchaser. Only 27 artist enhanced versions of each
image is available. These images usually sell very quickly resulting
in increased value as the collection gets closer to the end.
"Among the swarm of mechanical copyists of the externals, Rassouli
forcibly conveys the actual sensations of life... .For him the objective
reality is merely a theme for the creation of a higher sublimated reality
into which his personality is transfused...."
-- Alberto Gamberoni: Art Critic, Rome, Italy"
