Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Giclée Print?

    A Giclée print is a high-resolution reproduction of an original artwork using advanced large-format printers and archival inks. This process captures every detail, texture, and color nuance of Ivan Clarke’s paintings on premium fine art canvas, ensuring museum-quality fidelity and longevity.
  • What is an Artist's Proof (A/P)?

    An Artist's Proof (A/P) is a limited subset of a print edition reserved by the artist. Each proof is hand-rendered with unique brushwork and textures, making it distinct from standard prints. These proofs are rare, individually numbered, and prized by collectors for their exclusivity and artistic detail.
  • What are Masterworks?

    Masterworks are premium limited edition prints enhanced by Ivan Clarke’s hand-applied clear impasto medium. This finish adds organic textures and subtle brushstrokes, giving the print a tactile quality that closely resembles an original painting, while maintaining a larger edition size than Artist's Proofs.
  • Where can I view the original paintings?

    Ivan Clarke’s original paintings are exclusively displayed at Ivan Clarke Gallery near Queenstown, New Zealand. These originals are not for sale but can be admired in person by visiting the gallery or arranging a private viewing at Ivan’s Lakeside Studio.
  • How are the limited editions produced?

    Each limited edition print is produced using museum-grade archival inks on fine art canvas, then hand-signed and numbered by Ivan Clarke. The canvas is professionally stretched and finished, ensuring a ready-to-hang artwork that meets strict archival standards for durability.
  • Can I ship artworks internationally?

    Yes, all limited edition prints and Masterworks can be securely shipped worldwide. Each artwork is carefully packaged in a protective shipping tube to ensure it arrives in perfect condition, no matter the destination.
