~~ What is a Giclee Oil Canvas? ~~ This is a new form of fine art reproduction.Giclee reproduction uses high tech ~~ 4 million droplets per second, whirls onto paper spinning on a drum at 250 inches per second. Hence the name Giclee, French for "fine spray."
Precise computer calculations control four ink jets that together produce 512 shades of dense, ink. The information controlling the jets comes directly from a computer - no printing film or plates are involved. The computer's information is scanned directly from the artist's original work. The artwork emerges, lush and velvety, with the feel of and brush strokes of the original oil. . These artist/technicians have gone beyond all of the boundaries of current technoloy, cutomizing their quipment, creating new computer programs, even developing special inks and protective coatings - science, bent to the will of the artist.
From this marriage of art and science we celebrate the emergence of the Giclee fine art - a precise reproduction of an artist' painting with the qualities of an original.. The inks have been lab tested to withstand normal home lighting conditions for hundreds of years with no fading.
WHO IS THE ARTIST CAO YONG
Part Two
(See Part one of this Bio in my auction of Cao Yong's "Freedom")Cao Yong gre up under tremendous suppression and oppression from hsi Government. His family was persecuted and ostracized.
When Cao Yong was just sixteen, his family sold their only pig so that Cao Yong could afford to take the highly competitive National Entrance Exam of Art Universities. But before he could reach the capital city of Henan where the exam was to be held, his money and documents were stolen--and so was his portfolio. Cao Yong, in desperation, made an impassioned plea to the exam officials that he be allowed to take the exam; when the officials relented, Cao Yong scored the highest marks in five provinces. But it was to no avail; all the universities rejected him because of his family background ~~ the Government had a beef with his family for previous heritage of having been landowners. Although he remained an outcast in the ideology-dominated environment, he excelled in his art classes. Despite constant persecution and several attempts at expulsion, he received his BFA with highest distinction in 1983.
To escape the political pressure and to pursue his love for untainted nature and humanity, Cao Yong, now twenty-one, volunteered to go to Tibet, where he became a professor of art at Tibet University. During his seven years in Tibet, Cao Yong immersed himself in the spare beauty of the isolated highlands, and embraced the distinctive Tibetan culture. With a thirsty spirit which perhaps unconsciously divined a more fulfilling future, the young teacher once trekked hundreds of miles over the Himalayas to the Tibetan border and smuggled himself into neighboring Nepal, just to drink in the air of freedom for a brief moment, before returning to Tibet.
In order to copy the remains of Tibet's ancient wall paintings, Cao Yong visited almost every monastery and temple in the entire region, and produced hundreds of paintings. To study the prehistoric cave paintings of Tibet, Cao Yong, accompanied only by a horse, a dog, and a gun for hunting, lived alone in deserted mountain caves for nearly a year.
Cao Yong''s legendary experience in Tibet resulted in a remarkable series of paintings entitled The Split Layer of Earth: Mount Kailas. In this series, the artist not only addresses the conflicts between the physical and the spiritual, but also plunges into the deeper layer of sociopolitical and religious struggles in Tibet as well as in our world. In the spring of 1989, Cao Yong held his first one-man show at Beijing Artist Gallery. Over forty intensely emotional paintings shocked the Beijing art circle.
The exhibit was covered by China Daily, Beijing Review, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, The Canada Post, Asahi Shimbun of Japan, and other major international news agencies. Foreign ambassadors and representatives of foreign business organizations in Beijing attended the opening of the exhibition, and Cao Yong was invited to lecture at the embassies of France, Spain, Mexico, and Bolivia. However, Cao Yong's success alarmed the Chinese authorities. Beijing police arrested him, shut down the gallery, then confiscated and burned seven of Cao Yong''s unsold paintings.
But while under escort to the police station, Cao Yong managed to escape. With his fianc Aya Goda, a Japanese art student, Cao Yong set off on a perilous eight-month journey as a fugitive. On the run through China, the couple was nearly killed in a car accident. Constantly blackmailed by local officials, plagued with serious illnesses, the two had to resort to begging to survive. Finally, in 1989, with the help of the Japanese Embassy, they were married and escaped to Japan.
