Running Hot and Cold
13 January 2010

Prints are created as Giclee prints on paper or canvas. This one is on canvas since that allows the client to have it framed as a canvas print on a stretcher, or beneath glass like a traditional paper print. We are printing all the new requests for the Jazz Pianist on canvas because David has sorted the colour balance for this medium just perfectly, and it gives adaptability.

 

 

 

 

Each print is named, numbered and signed before being varnished with an amazing finish called Frogjuice – honest!! This really brings out the detail in the print and fixes the colours for safety. The print has to go to David’s outside workshop for spraying so no time to take the hat off!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We often sell prints framed to order, but unframed prints are also popular, particularly if the collector has a favourite framer or the print is destined to travel abroad. Unframed prints are rolled and packed in a solid tube and taken by our estate manager, Ken Thompson, to the local post office who know, on seeing our packing, that another Atack print will be winging its way to another art lover, probably abroad. This particular print is on its way to London, to a person who admired the work of Doug Murray, and the way David had captured him as the quintessential lonely artist, lost in his music as the crowd enjoy their own company not realising that the ambience was being created by a great jazz pianist -----
