Archiving Clive's Artwork - Capturing The Images
Clive has always drawn and painted alongside his writing and other creative work. His larger scale oil paintings have come
to greater prominence in recent years through publication of the
Abarat volumes, but his wider range of work has been celebrated in
gallery exhibitions in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Clive's artwork is represented by Thomas Negovan at
Century Guild and Thomas has announced
a multi-volume celebration of Clive's artwork through the Imaginer series of books..
In the Imaginer book, Thomas wrote: "The most important element of any printing is the capturing process. Making sure to
have files of the highest resolution is one aspect, the other is color correction. For this
volume, we created completely new files of the absolute fnest quality using a high resolution
scanback camera with a Rodenstock lens and a digital focusing system to make sure that
we have the crispest possible detail. The artworks were then painstakingly color corrected
to make certain that viewing the artworks in this book are as close as possible to the actual
physical experience."
Jim Kay of
Transmission Atelier is undertaking both the image capture and the colour correction and we're delighted to present this ongoing journal, documenting his work in Clive's studio.
