DESCRIPTION:
SHAG’s limited editions introduced in Budapest are produced using the silk-screen (serigraph) printing method. Serigraphy for additional color depth, saturation, density, and texture are a perfect match to SHAG’s painting style.
He is collaborating with Kolibri Art Studio, Inc. in Los Angeles for decades for unparalleled quality at enormous sizes for always a small, limited edition of 200 serigraphs only. Anywhere from 10 to 25 colors (some colors are printed twice for optimum quality) with hand color-separation, required 2 months to print since it is very labor-intensive to complete these unique editions. He’s media choice is always the 100% rag 2 or 4-ply acid-free museum boards only with a 2” margins left outside the live area. For the finish, SHAG requires a special and very costly UV matte clear coat (varnish) screened on for preserving the extra longevity of the serigraph print.
