"Entangled Lovers"
Pastel 1984
Artist Patrick Ching grew up exploring the jungles of urban Oahu. "When I came across this ficus tree wrapped around a coconut palm I immediately assumed they were in love. Later I found out the ficus was strangling the palm tree. I guess that’s how lovers are sometimes. This worm’s eye view of the entwined trees was originally done in oil paint during Ching's senior year in High School 1980. It was the top painting in the National Scholastic Arts Competition and is now in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum.
MATTED PRINTS
The mat is the decorative border on the outside of the actual printed picture. Matted prints are measured by outside mat dimensions available in 8"x10", 11"x14", and 16"x20" - fitting standard-sized frames.
*Note that the actual picture size will be smaller than the mat size and may vary in shape depending on the shape of the original painting.
FULL-SIZE PRINTS
Full-size prints extend to the full dimensions of 8”x10”, 11x14”, or 16”x20” (or equivalent square inches in the case of narrow artwork). There is no mat border, so the picture itself is larger than that of a matted print.
GICLÉE
Giclée, pronounced zhee-klay, is a French word meaning “fine spray”. Giclée are the finest quality reproductions printed on canvas, then varnished with a durable protective coating. They can be stretched and framed like an original painting and need no glass covering. Mine are sent rolled and ready for framing.
GALLERY WRAP GICLÉE
You may inquire about gallery wrap giclée, which adds an extra 1-5/8" all around, with an image mirrored edge. Gallery wrap giclée cost 20% more than standard giclée and can be stretched at a frame shop near you, as a contemporary option to framing.
