Description
This ready-to-hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a colorful watercolor map of Chile. Art and design were always Michael's favorite subjects at school. He was fortunate to land a job as a graphic designer at one of London's most prestigious publishing companies after leaving University. After 12 highly enjoyable years, Michael Tompsett decided to pursue a full-time career creating his work. The freedom and time to be able to focus solely on his projects have been a wonderful experience. Although Michael likes to experiment with different styles and subjects, his main focus is on map art. He enjoys looking for unique and interesting ways to depict something very familiar. Maps are visual representations of the world they live in, an incredibly diverse world. Apart from maps, Michael Tompsett creates urban landmarks and cityscape designs. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high-quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is the wide acceptance of giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured in a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting. Size: 19" H x 14" W x 2" D
