THE GICLEES, A CAUSE, METAPHYSICS

A Private Release

This exclusive single print is a conscious rebellion against ‘common’ edition prints that are all too common in the world of wall art. For the first time ever, Pye’s Studio presents this donation work to the Friends of the Wangaratta Art Gallery as a print version, in an intimate rally for a definitive artistic milestone, only made possible by gicleur technology.

This print  is pushing the physical realization of an upcoming, highly anticipated national exhibition for Pye. Collectors who acquire this print work behind glass will be the first to know of the plans, via handwritten message.

By exploring the deeper psychological grammar and mythologies of the Australian landscape, and drawing heavily from the internal mythologies that interconnected mid-century modernism with Pye’s practice.

It stands as a quiet antidote to the unease — a physical anchor and memory of Pye’s most poignant works of optimism. A subtle yearning for a simpler time.

To preserve the singular spirit of this project, this single release bypasses the general public entirely and is available exclusively to a private database of trusted collectors and friends.
