Grizzly Bear: On The Khutze River

from CA$400.00

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Edition Year: 2015

Medium: Limited Edition Giclée Print on Canvas

Edition Size: 50

Original Painting Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Original Painting Size (Inches H x W): 30 × 48

The Khutze River Estuary lies at the head of an inlet and is typical of the dozens of fjords that intricately fill the B.C. coastline between Vancouver and the Alaskan border. In September the return of spawning salmon brings an enormous focus of life to these areas as everything from Grizzlies to Mew gulls come to feast on the bounty. The theme in this painting is my attempt to capture the excitement of this 'time of plenty'. It is unfortunately missing the sounds and smells that are an integral part of the scene. Until recent years trophy hunting for grizzlies was carried out in this region and large bears were very cautious to show themselves in daylight. The Raincoast Conservation Foundation was particularly concerned about the impact the trophy hunt was having on the overall grizzly population. In an enormous fund-raising drive they raised several million dollars and have now purchased from the B.C. government two of the guide-outfitter licenses for the mid coast. They are still working to acquire the third which will make most of the coastal inlets much safer for bears. In just a few years many grizzlies have become much less wary and now calmly feed on salmon in the presence of human visitors.

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.
