Trademark Fine Art Splash II by Roderic Stevens Canvas Wall Art, Four 12x32-Inch

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a cherries, apple, lemon, and strawberries being dropped in water. Internationally collected, award winning artist, Roderick E. Stevens II was handed his first set of oils at the ago of seven. His love for painting was promptly born. In high school, he began exploring realism, and simultaneously discovereed acrylics which seemed to better accommodate his impatient nature. Early on however, film making grabbed his attention, and cinematography became his career of choice, nudging painting to 'occasional hobby' for many years. In 2004 a cataclysm of turmoil sent him back to the palette for some personal focus and his talents re-emerged. Since then Roderick has traveled the country in art shows and galleries sharing his contemporary, photo-realistic paintings. His work has quickly garnered critical praise and numerous awards. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
