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 Outsiders galleries make buying and collecting art accessible and affordable. We exhibit twenty art shows and release over fifty different print editions every year via our galleries in London and Newcastle and our online shop. The Outsiders is part of Lazarides Ltd, noted for the popularisation of “urban art”. Many of our artists have succeeded outside of the traditional gallery system, emerging through popular fields like graffiti, design, and illustration; often self-taught, usually rejected by the art world. We deal with cutting-edge art, and are viewed as one of the world’s most influential galleries. You don’t need a degree in art history to be engaged by the work or enjoy it on the walls of your home, and are welcome to browse the artwork in our galleries. We sell original works and print editions, the latter produced to the highest standards at our own Execution Dock studio.
