About this Medium
Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. The graphic universe of Koa 's choking, funny and colorful. His wonderful world is haunted by nightmarish monsters ghost as that ridiculous beard faded women, crazy clowns, dwarves fan of hip hop, werewolves scared ... Mirrors of our souls, his creations are inspired by our follies, our prejudices, our fascination for the strange ... It echo of a decadent society where human stupidity, violence and sex are everywhere. His creations lead us to question our perception of the other: Who is really the monster? The graphics Koa is at the forefront of new designers who assume their illustrations on a variety of media (paintings, toys, boards, wall painting ...)
