~~ What is a Giclee Oil Canvas? ~~ This is a new form of fine art reproduction.Giclee reproduction uses high tech ~~ 4 million droplets per second, whirls onto paper spinning on a drum at 250 inches per second. Hence the name Giclee, French for "fine spray."
Precise computer calculations control four ink jets that together produce 512 shades of dense, ink. The information controlling the jets comes directly from a computer - no printing film or plates are involved. The computer's information is scanned directly from the artist's original work. The artwork emerges, lush and velvety, with the feel of and brush strokes of the original oil. . These artist/technicians have gone beyond all of the boundaries of current technoloy, cutomizing their quipment, creating new computer programs, even developing special inks and protective coatings - science, bent to the will of the artist.
From this marriage of art and science we celebrate the emergence of the Giclee fine art - a precise reproduction of an artist' painting with the qualities of an original.. The inks have been lab tested to withstand normal home lighting conditions for hundreds of years with no fading.
WHO IS THE ARTIST CAO YONG
Part ThreeCao Yong was raised in China under a brutal Government that suppressed him and his family (this is all covered in other Cao Yong auctions ~~ See "Freedom" and "My Balcony")
He eventually escaped to Japan ~~
In Japan, Cao Yong faced a new challenge: how to survive as an artist in a free-market economy. To continue to paint his Tibet series, as well as to feed himself and his young wife, Cao Yong worked as a gravedigger and took small painting commissions. But soon his artistic skill and versatility attracted much larger commissions to design and paint enormous murals. Within a few years, Cao Yong''s murals adorned stylish commercial buildings, high-class department stores, and even ceremonial sites in Tokyo, Kyoto, and many other cities. In 1991, Cao Yong founded his first company, C & G Wall-Painting Productions, and was soon recognized as the nation''s most honored muralist. Meanwhile, Cao Yong continued to work passionately on his Tibet paintings, and many of his finest works in the Tibet series were created during this period. His work was exhibited in Tokyo''s prominent O Art Museum, Shibuya Gallery, and Gallery Bamboo, as well as in the Yunghan Art Gallery in Taipei, Taiwan. Famous Japanese art critic, Yoshida Yoshie, declared that Cao Yong's work astounded the art world not only because of its outstanding artistic value, but also because of its ""profound insight and powerful impact on the world in which we live."" Moreover, Cao Yong was extolled by the Japanese press as ""an artistic genius of our time.""
In 1994, searching for tougher challenges and an international stage, Cao Yong emigrated to the United States. Inspired by the free-spirited American way of life, the prosperous and energetic society, and the spectacular landscapes, Cao Yong drove from Maine to Texas, from New York to Los Angeles. At last he felt that he could throw off the shackles which had so long weighed down his spirit, and experience both literal and artistic freedom.
Cao Yong soon realized that the artistic language he had mastered over the years could not effectively communicate his newest experiences and emotions. Although his Tibet paintings once again won him rounds of applause in this country''s fine art circles, and the world-celebrated Christie's successfully auctioned several of his masterpieces for a large sum, Cao Yong refused to depend upon past successes, or to repeat them. He was determined to create and govern a new artistic language, even it meant starting from scratch. To that end, he whole-heartily delved into the American landscape and society--into city streets, restaurants, parks, bars, small towns--in order to observe, to understand, and to experience American life. Cao Yong worked day and night with extraordinary energy. During his first three years in the U.S., he painted over two hundred oil paintings, and each was an attempt to express himself in a fresh way.
In 1997, Cao Yong moved from New York City to Los Angeles. The brilliant sun on the powerful, rugged landscape of the American West revived potent memories of Tibet. But Cao Yong''s heart, as well as his work, had already risen, phoenix-like, from the ashes of his oppressive past. With the determination of a pioneer, Cao Yong set forth, heading toward the higher ground of artistic maturity. Of the moment when he painted Santa Monica, the work that marks the turning point of his career, Cao Yong says: ""To this day, I can still feel the tingle I felt upon pouring my exultation onto this canvas. As I painted nearly 200 figures reveling in a spontaneous street festival on a summer night, I was likewise celebrating in my own heart.""
The sincere jubilance of Cao Yong''s work has universal appeal. Collectors and art dealers zealously welcomed, and continue to welcome, Cao Yong''s new art. In order to satisfy the rapidly growing demand and to bring his art to a bigger audience, Cao Yong established his art publishing company, Cao Yong Editions, Inc., in 1999. Since then, The company has released four series of limited-edition prints: Venice, Golden Coast, Romantic Gardens, and Hawaii. Just announced is the forthcoming Paris series. His distribution network has covered the nation and it is now expanding into the Japanese, Canadian, and European markets.
Although audiences around the world respond to Cao Yong''s remarkable work with standing ovations, the artist remains raptly focused on perfecting his art. ""After all, painting is my life, and being an artist is my fate,"" says Cao Yong simply. While in the past, he vented great pain and anger upon the canvas solely for himself, now that he has found freedom and the inner peace that accompanies it, he is eager to share this with others. To Cao Yong there is no greater reward than being able to bring to people the beauty, joy, and love that his heart witnesses through his art.
