INTRODUCING
THE SYNOGRAPH
Unlike the current method of printing, which is merely a flat poster version of a painting, our textured prints are nearly identical to the original with all the texture and articulation created by the artist. I like to think of the originals like sculpture molds, and that the prints are as valuable as the original painting. A SYNOGRAPH ™ like a photograph, allows the artist to create multiple works from the original, thereby taking great paintings out of galleries and making them available to the GENERAL PUBLIC.
