About Michael Pape Fine Art Giclée Limited Edition Prints

Giclée (Gee-Clay)

Giclée is a state of the art digital technology that has made it possible to create a fine art print that is extremely difficult to distinguish from the original painting or drawing. Giclées are available on archival acid free watercolour paper and or canvas. Michael Pape Giclées use pigment longevity inks and have a lifetime warranty. Each limited edition giclée is numbered and hand-signed by the artist. Read More About What A Glicee Is.

Giclée - Regular Print Edition is a regular signed and numbered limited edition print, based off the artist proof. 

Giclée - Artist Proof Print Edition is a signed and numbered limited edition print. An Artist Proof is the process of the artist manually matching the original painting colour to the limited edition giclée print colour. For example, the pupil of an animal’s eye may be slightly darker on one Artist Proof than another. Each Artist Proof is slightly different in colour / different in color. An original if you will. Many artists charge a 20% premium because of this. Artist Proof Print Editions are usually limited to 10% (20 prints) of the Regular Print Edition (200 prints) for example. They are the most sought after limited edition by international art collectors.

Giclée - Conservation / Publisher Proof Print Edition are what charities offer for Fundraising.

About this wildlife art painting: Of all the large Cats of the World, the Amur Leopard is the most critically endangered and are teetering on the brink of extinction, poached largely for its beautiful spotted fur. The idea of this Amur Leoprd's vulnerable pose within this wildlife painting is to signify in “A Perfect World” indeed there is hope and that it is up to all of us through awareness to secure the Amur Leopard’s future. – Michael Pape

The Amur Leopard, the most northerly of all Leopard subspecies, this magnificent animal is among the most critically endangered mammals in the world. A recent population and distribution survey estimated that as few as 30 Amur Leopards survive in their natural habitat in the Russian far east, the Korean peninsula and the mountains of northeastern China, living exactly where the Siberian (Amur) Tiger does. Illegal poaching to supply a ludicrous market for traditional Chinese medicines has been spurred by Russia's economic collapse, gross poverty, and lack of responsible law enforcement. These cats will go extinct without new awareness, law enforcement and changes to the problems of poaching and habitat loss.
