Scribe - Black & White Variant

Anville is an identity which embodies classical design aesthetics, along with modern subject matter. Through ink, screenprints and paint I have tried to create a window into a world that does not exist, yet has familiar elements. Each piece brings me closer to understanding what is most important in this world, the sum of the parts, or possibly the detail that surrounds us. It is the highest priority to capture certain moods, angles of viewing reality, and intense attention to texture and space. 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.
