This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a collage of images resembling Frida Kahlo. Ines Kouidis studied painting and drawing at the Free Academy of Art Berlin. In 2002 she founded her studio in Berlin and has been creating collages ever since from newsprint, magazines, posters and paper of any kind. Her works are included in private collections in Germany, UK, USA and the Netherlands. 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.
