Producing multiple copies of a graphic work is a craft that requires considerable technical and human effort. The role of the printer is crucial, the process is long and complex, involving as many steps as there are colors. In addition to the technological knowledge related to the procedures and materials necessary for printing, one must possess a particular sensitivity that can retrace, step by step, the genesis of a work without compromising the values and content that the author intended to express.
The ability to create prints is also the result of a particular analysis sensitivity of the processes to be followed and of correct choices regarding the materials most suitable for various purposes: type of paper, type of ink, emulsion, etching times, etc. Giuliano Grittini founded the Art Printshop in 1974. Today, it is one of the most renowned graphic ateliers in Italy and worldwide.
At the core of a high artistic value result is the strength in adopting exclusively manual processing methods, combined with professionalism enhanced by long experience and fueled by the "fire" of passion for one's work. This is how "Art Engraving" manages to bring to life the graphic work entrusted to it by the most well-known Contemporary Masters, working closely with them to maintain the freshness and emotion of the original work in all copies. Author's graphics have a high professional value and are a way to collect works by prestigious contemporary Masters, enhancing one's culture and nurturing a passion for art. They also represent a secure financial investment over time as long as the work is of quality: that is, produced with artisanal processes in a limited number of copies, each numbered and signed by the Artist, printed using carefully selected materials, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
