ART PRINTS

As with all things in life, value is subjective and in the art world it is always a bone of contention but there are some things you can use to help guide you as an artist or as a collector. Open edition art prints are continually available so these will demand a lower price. Limited edition art prints will run out eventually so depending on the number of editions the price will be higher accordingly. Original artwork is original so they can naturally demand a greater price, but as many emerging artists begin their journey into the art world you can grab a bargain original work from many profound emerging artists simply because they have not yet had time to become recognised in the art world, yet. Art is a currency and making sure you value your art correctly and with sincerity is essential. Pineapple Gallery say’s take yourself seriously but never too seriously, price your art according to the time it took to make, the size, the materials and the level of artist you would say you are. As a collector, you could spend your days wishing you had kept that part of your heart for yourself. All our limited edition artwork is sold with a C.O.A. which means certificate of authentication, simply put this means it’s all tip top and above board. Life is art, enjoy selling and buying and making art. Value is an elusive concept. ART IS FOR EVERYONE

Framing art prints, or original artwork is a craft, a skill and something we love to do by hand in the Pineapple workshop. Once an artwork is framed by a bespoke framer, it really does show off the art at a different and higher level, the power of a handmade frame is notably different from the ‘off the shelf’ frames you can buy anywhere, it takes a few weeks but usually a frame remains on the artwork for 10-50 years so we think the wait for a handmade is so worth it. Choosing which frame to go with can seem overwhelming, the thought of multiple choices, not knowing the jargon and the potential high cost can put people off from choosing a bespoke frame, just the word bespoke can make people quiver but at Pineapple Gallery we encourage people to feel comfortable to come in for a casual chat, and to look and feel the huge range of frames we offer. We can help guide you in the right direction whilst always remaining true to our main principles that you should trust your gut instincts and that art is for everyone. Our frames come in so many shapes and sizes varying from traditional Australian oak to contemporary colours, metallics, wide, narrow, ornates, it feels exciting to buy some contemporary art then to have it framed. Our framing options give you the chance to show off your artwork in a way that suits your needs, whether an edge to edge frame or a box frame, maybe a framed open canvas which can offer a contemporary look without the need for glass, all our frames are made to order and made with love. You will be happy with the individualised experience and individualised end result, you won't break the bank but you will invest in something special to enjoy over many years to come. ART IS FOR EVERYONE

With great care, great technical skill, with great machinery, with time, with beautiful archival papers, with love, with attention to detail, with experience, with colour control. Yes it does take several different ingredients / components to make an art print, if you are talking about fine art giclee printing this is a specialised printing method and we make hundreds and hundreds of art prints for people so we can take away the stress and get all the things you need in place so you can simply enjoy your art print. Back in the day the Sumerians (c. 3000 BCE) made art prints by engraving designs and cuneiform inscriptions on cylinder seals usually made of stone and then rolled these over soft clay tablets, leaving relief impressions but for our generation of speed junkies that is not an option. They did however conceived the idea of multiplication and the mechanical principle, the roller ultimately became the printing press. The Europeans loved a bit of royal stamping and would offer the royal imprint with royal seals and signatures, very royal indeed. Art printing on paper naturally developed from textile printing and was introduced by China but Europe caught up and manufactured it’s own paper in 1151 in Spain. We use quite a lot of german manufactured papers from the company Hahnemuhle whom we love, the Germans have a knack for making things of great quality and the fine art papers we offer from hahnemuhle never cease to please us.
