Trademark Global Kurt Shaffer &Gardenia in Black and White& Canvas Art

Description

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a close up, black and white photograph of a white flower. Though Kurt does not manipulate his fine art photography, digital enhancement is a valuable tool in his business. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. He states that if he were to change anything in his work it would be to make it look more like it was when he took the original photo. When photographing people, capturing the nature in his subjects is Kurt's intent and what he strives to do. Kurt Shaffer has been a self-taught photographer since age 13 (1970). The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting. He continues to learn the fine art of photography, especially in this fantastic digital age. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. Kurt's love of the earth feeds his photographic creativity and defines it as his truest form of therapy.
