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: Into The Light – Polar Bear © 2018 Original Acrylic Painting on Masonite is Sold.

I want to pay homage through this exclusive original wildlife painting to this male Polar Bear orphan. This story started in Resolute, Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic, his mother starving and in desperate need of food. His mother made the tough choice to do what she had to do, a desperate act, and approached a home, entering through the living room window in search of food. The mother was shot. Before the mother’s desperate act, she had hidden this cub near the airport in Resolute. Hours later this Polar Bear cub wandered out, about the size of a large German Shepherd. An airplane mechanic working saw this Polar Bear and thought this cub at the time looked harmless, unfortunately he still has the scars on his hand from the bite. This Polar Bear Cub was gathered up and put into an airplane engine wooden crate and was shipped off to the Toronto Zoo. Currently he is 5’9" in height walking on all fours and weighs 1200lbs. His name is Inukshuk.

I created this exclusive original wildlife painting of this male Polar Bear with the idea as if he is on a stage and all the world is his audience. He has kept his human audience spellbound for countless years due to his power, majesty, as well as vulnerability. Polar Bears need ice to hunt seals (their main food source) and with longer delays for ice to form due to climate change, many Polar Bears are going without nourishment for longer and longer periods. I want the viewer of this painting to feel a sense of hope, contribution and empowerment to the future of this icon of the far North, stepping from the dark and into the light.

It is the innate intelligence, emotion and sensitivity in all animals that I inspire to recreate in my original wildlife paintings. I have personally met all the animals in my paintings. I strive to collaborate with you, through my paintings, in a greater mission, to be a voice for animals and the natural environment in which they live. – Michael Pape
