Octopus: Emerging From It’s Den
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Edition Year: 2023
Medium: Limited Edition Giclée Print on Canvas
Edition Size: 100 - Commemorative Special Edition Giclée Print ❈ Mark Hobson Gallery 10th Anniversary
Original Painting Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Original Painting Size (Inches H x W): 48 × 36
The coast of B.C. and Alaska is home to the largest octopus in the world, the Pacific Giant Octopus, which can grow tentacles almost 9 feet in length. They are shy creatures and hide most of the day by camouflaging themselves among the rocks and seaweed below the tide line. Extremely agile hunters, they venture out at night in search of crabs and shrimp. I encountered an octopus on my first check out dive near Victoria, B.C. and was so moved by this intelligent, fluid animal that it started me on a life-long journey of trying to paint the underwater world. I have painted several paintings featuring octopus and generally take artistic license in depicting them red in colour which normally occurs when they are stressed or making an escape. Their red mode is the perfect counterpoint to the dark greys and greens of their surroundings.

What Is A Giclee?
A Giclée (pronounced Gee-Clay) is a digitally reproduced limited edition print which looks very close to an original painting. All of Mark's giclees are printed on canvas which help to give them that ‘real painting’ feel plus do not require glass when framed.
The original painting is scanned which enables the best quality of reproduction as colours are accurate to the original and can even show the detail of brush strokes. It is a much more colour accurate reproduction than those from traditional 4-colour presses, and the inks are long lasting as well as resistant to light deterioration.
Mark's giclée reproductions are limited to editions of 50, thus making the giclee a good investment if the original is unavailable or out of reach financially. Mark personally numbers and resigns each reproduction.
Giclées generally come in small, medium or large with the specific size varying from one giclee to another. Please see each individual artwork for size options and prices.
