Galerie Jakubska Art Shop, was founded by artist Alexandr Onishenko, a well-established artist in the Czech Republic. His unique technique of painting on black canvases is a vital and essential aspect of his work. The canvas is first treated with this special pitch-black medium, the ingredients of which have remained a secret since its invention. Working in this way enables him to explore newly-found extremes of light and darkness. Through the contrast that the black canvas provides, colors are given greater intensity and vibrancy and shadows are brought to new depths. His medium is inseparable from his message and his message is New Impressionism.
After running a gallery in the center of Prague for more that 25 years , Alexandr decided to create an art shop, where everyone will be able to buy a high quality art print of the most popular artworks of his own.
High quality art prints. Technique of reproduction:
-The artwork is presented as Giclee Print (digital printmaking technology with fantastic results in beauty and quality) on real cotton canvas 400 mu. thick, neutral pH, low dot gain. Great for reproducing oil and acrylic paintings. The reproductions come from very large *.TIF images, about 25 Mega for each photo and about 3300 x 2500 pixels.
-Ink Stability: All indications are that the new UV pigmented inks for the Hewlett-Packard DesignJet 5500 will have a longevity rating of between 150 and 200 years – the tests are valid for over 100 years so far and still ongoing by Wilhelm – (It is important to note that all colours fade. Depending of the composition of the paints, many original watercolours will fade faster).
-All prints are presented with 2 inches of white canvas border ready to be framed. The prints do not come framed. The choosing of mats and frames is a matter of personal taste. Local framing shops can best provide you this type of service.
-The advanced plotter used is the HP5500 design jet printer’s series with the increased colour gamut of their UV pigmented inks.
