Wonderland... a place that seems so impossibly mind-bending and complex, yet so extraordinarily beautiful in all its colourful mysteries. Artist Jared Franco's new masterpiece, shares these qualities with the topsy-turvy place that inspired it.
A celebratory homage to Walt Disney's 1951 animated classic "Alice in Wonderland", Franco's wildly ambitious oil painting took on almost mural-like proportions in order to contain the vast amount of detail which visually traverses nearly every story beat in the animated film.
This epic painting came to life over the course of several months. Before a single drop of paint touched the canvas, this intricate layout and design had to be carefully developed through a series of concepts and pencil illustrations. Once the painting process itself began, every inch of the canvas was hand-painted in magnificent detail, one brushstroke at a time.
The result is a triumph of creativity and imagination, which we are proud to present in this archival quality canvas limited edition.
Look a bit closer and we think you will find yourself, like Alice, to be "curiouser and curiouser"!
This art piece is part of Disney's incredible Treasures on Canvas collection ... a wonderful series of iconic Disney paintings that have been re-created as limited edition fine art giclees on canvas. It measures 9.5 x 22 inches.
Each Treasure on Canvas is accompanied by a Disney Certificate of Authenticity and is a limited edition of only 1,500 pieces worldwide. Therefore, these are highly collectable art pieces and, once all 1,500 pieces are sold, the edition is officially retired and the artwork is no longer available for retail sale.
Each Treasure on Canvas comes beautifully "gallery wrapped" included in the price. This means the canvas is "wrapped" around and attached to wooden bars and is ready to hang as soon as it arrives. A hanging wire is affixed to the back of the artwork for easy wall hanging (wall hook not included).
What is a "giclee"?
Giclees are art pieces created using archival quality inks. The French term “Giclée” – literally meaning “spray of ink” – is used to describe these fine artwork creations. Multiple precision nozzles spray and mix up to ten million microscopic droplets of paint per second onto the fine art canvas. The giclee printing process therefore provides incredible colour accuracy and sensational high-definition detail. It's a rich feast for the eyes and creates a true museum-quality finish.
What is "gallery wrapped"?
Gallery wrapped means the canvas is stretched across wooden stretcher bars and then held in place on the back in a way that is not visible when the art is hung on the wall. The result is that the image, as well as the “wrapped” edges, are visible. This contemporary style of presentation means your art piece is ready to hang as soon as you receive it!
How do I care for my Treasure on Canvas?
Each Treasure on Canvas is meticulously hand-produced using the very finest, museum-quality archival inks and materials. We suggest keeping your canvas clean using a dry, lint free cloth. Never use a wet or moist cloth to clean your canvas.
