Limted Edition Art Prints and Posters - Sketchcan.ie
sketchcan Ltd. is based in Ireland, along the wild Irish west coast. We produce and provide unique and often rare images and works of art by established and new artists and photographers. These works come as original art works or as limited edition art prints. Our collection is growing daily and is for serious collectors and new collectors that are just beginning a collection. A collection can beginning on a small budget its not unattainable and can be a great investment.
"This is a place for artists and collectors to make there own, I wanted this to be a place where collectors can get in touch and tell me 'I think you should do this or I want you to do that, ' I want collectors involved in the growth of sketchcan, as artists and photographers will be, I want them to feel this is about new ideas and trying new things to bring both artists and collectors closer, knowing what each wants." say's John Lee one of the Founder's of Sketchcan.
For the Love Of Art
the company was first developed in 2000, and with the support of the Enterprise Board and the European Union, through the NDP and Shannon Development, it became Sketchcan ltd. in 2005.
"I'm an artist, I've been painting since I was born more or less, I was brought up with it, my father was a painter and it just flows through my veins" say's John, After several years working in feature animation both in Ireland and around Europe he decided to go with what felt right and begin a platform for artists and collectors, having worked along so many talented people he could see the potential being lost in the production mentality. With a passion for classical art, and the respect to the practice of great artists and the work involved, its important and necessary to create something to bring attention to that side of the art.
Art Prints
Our Prints come with a seal, or an embossed seal which is placed in the bottom left hand corner, and each art work is signed by the artist who created the work and on the back carries the details of the printer and the time and date of printing. Along with that a certificate is created unique to the art prints and this along with the work caries a unique serial number with can be used to track and authenticate the art prints resale history and other important details. We keep records of all art prints and are available to purchasers for any occasion that requires them to show proof of any kind in any situation. Our Art prints are printed by artists so the integrity of the original is carried through to the reproduction or giclee print. This of course dose not relate to prints that are not printed by us but sold by us. Giclee Printing is a french term relating to the process of jet printing, or fine art printing. Its used by top galleries around the world and top art print stores.
