One

I promised some while ago that I’d tell you where some of my paintings now live after their wondering to new homes after the 2023/2024 exhibition tours. This is One, finished in 2013. My story of it tells you why I write ‘finished’. https://www.elizabethgrayking.com/one. It is one of my favourites and it keeps giving. All the the poeple in it continue to have conversaitons and if you have a print called Foothill, or Headspace, or Membrance or Conversation, or Loom, or Plait, or Stance, or Burble, or Well, or Floe, you have a part of One. They all have something specific to say from this glorious human form made of hundreds (at least) of other humans of every colour and kind and time. People have told me that they see DNA lines at the bottom and Saints in the sky above. I am deeply moved by what people tell me that they see.

One went to their new home in September 2024, and is hanging in a private collection. I generally prefer public collections, but this particular collection is owned by some very public committed people and have visitors from around the planet for glorious hospitality. The collection has a number of EGK originals and prints and I am told that they generate much conversation. I’m delighted. That, I discovered more than ever last year, is the point of my work.

The owner writes, “My love of it is to do with connectivity, of being part of something bigger but connected. The small print we have is gorgeous in its own right but it is part of a whole. The “whole” is even more striking.“

Yes, the origninal is no longer for sale. But prints of the whole and of One’s smaller details hang in a good number of collections already. You may order any at any time. I still have my fine art printer connections in the UK and in the USA. I’ll find one in Australia soon.

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
