Stone, Steel and Glass (VI). Giclee fine art print.

from $25.00

This painting shows the Zeitz MOCAA building in Cape Town, South Africa, presented as a giclee print.

This is the last in a series featuring urban landscapes and architecture that make for interesting art. The six-piece set focuses on the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art (MOCAA) in Cape Town's Waterfront precinct. This museum and the Silo Hotel above it were built into an old grain silo that has been modernized and given a unique look with faceted windows. I was drawn to the contrasting textures in the building - stone-like concrete, smooth metal and reflective glass, that interplay to form a diamond-like beacon in the landscape.

But what really did it for me while photographing it that Sunday morning was turning around and being stunned by its perfect, patterned reflection in the glass building next door. The first four paintings in the series capture this, whereas this one is a direct view in a daring perspective.

Original oil on 3mm primed Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) panel.

September 2024. 50cm x 75cm (20” x 30”).

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.
