Giclée is a French slang word for spraying or squirting ink that was coined in the 1990's to describe fine art prints reproduced with large format inkjet printers. Giclée prints have become increasingly popular as the technology and materials improve. Today, giclée is the world's best technique for reproducing original works of art. It has a higher resolution than lithography and wider color range than a serigraph.
An AROC is the acronym for (Artist Recreation on Canvas). After the Giclées are printed Bill Lopa takes a small limited edition of the prints and spends 6 to 8 hours embellishing them so that no two are alike. When the process is complete it truly is the closest thing to an original. Bill even signs this edition with a paintbrush the same way he signs original pieces of art.
The process of reproducing works of art by spraying archival inks on paper or canvas. 2. The closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically and technically possible.
Masterpiece Editions are available starting at $10,000. These pieces are the same dimensions as the original paintings and are hand embellished by Bill Lopa for over 20 hours. These are by far the rarest
of Bill Lopa's editions and the most limited of prints.
