Midas - Acrylic Painting

Giclée museum quality print.

ALL PRINTS COME WITH A HAND SIGNED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WHICH IS SENT SEPARATELY, SO MAY ARRIVE BEFORE OF AFTER THE ARTWORK.

Paper:
Hahnemuhle Photorag Pearl
320gsm. 100% cotton. Unique. The inherent quality of rag paper with a beautiful quality, slightly textured pearl finish.

Canvas:
1440 dpi using a 10-colour pigment ink system, for smooth graduations, less bronzing, and an impressive colour range.

Printed, using the giclée method, on tight-weave bright white 400gsm cotton canvas with a uniform, non-cracking surface, prints are hand-stretched onto heavy duty 38mm-deep knotless solid kiln-dried fir stretcher bars from sustainable sources in Europe.

Prints come with built-in corner wedges that make it easy to tighten the canvas. They arrive ready to hang, backed with brown framing tape and a flat hanging system that keeps your canvas lying perfectly against the wall.

About this acrylic painting:
Whilst painting this intelligent animal, I aimed to capture him in deep contemplative thought.

I added 22 carat gold leaf to the bottom left corner and to the stick he has in his hand to compliment the tonal values of the painting.

This is what inspired me to name him ‘Midas’ after the story of king Midas.
