Mango, King of Fruits. Giclee fine art print.
Giclee fine art print of an original pastel painting. Mango and other fruit against a stainless steel coffee pot, with reflections. Highly detailed, this print will add a touch of colour to a kitchen or living area.
It's a triangular composition, and the mandarin cuts an almost perfect line up to the tip of the mango, whose axis lies exactly perpendicular to it. It's as if the other fruits are attacking the mango - the apple and lemon provide a beachead for the mandarin to climb the pot while the granadilla and avocado provide cover, as the mango surveys its lands from above.
I was drawn to the juxtaposition of the smooth, glossy steel and the organic roughness and rich hues of the fruit.
Original June 2021, on paper (23"x16"), painted with Sennelier and Unison soft pastels and Faber-Castell Pitt pastel pencils.

Prints are scaled to various standard US frame sizes, e.g. 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 28x20, and 36x24 (all inches). Square print sizes are 12x12, 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 28x28, 32x32, and 36x36 (all inches). The print itself is smaller than this to include a border of 1 to 2 inches depending on the print size. When the original is an odd proportion, we fill the frame with the image until the first border is touched. In other words, you might have wider vertical or horizontal borders. When the horizontal borders are wider, we might move the image up a little so that the lower one is wider than the upper, this is a popular setting.
All of my prints are professionally rendered to archival standards on 310gm, 100% cotton paper from Germany, with a gently textured surface. This paper is free of optical brightening agents (OBAs). They are printed in the latest generation Epson Ultrachrome archival pigment inks. This is the ink-set that started the pigment print revolution and twenty years on continues to be the leader in terms of lightfastness, colour gamut and D-max. I inspect each print personally to ensure print quality. Each print is titled, signed and dated by me, and will be packed in glassine paper and cardboard tubing for sizes 36x24 to 20x16, or glassine with cardboard protection for the smaller sizes 14x11 and 10x8.
