REAL ILLUSTRATORS - SMALL EDITIONS

At Galerie Frits we value quality, uniqueness and craftmanship. We work with both local and international illustrators and graphic artists. We offer open editions, but also limited editions and unique pieces. Keep in mind that, quite often, we have very limited numbers of a print in stock.

Printing techniques

Colourful vertical giclée print by Teresa Rego featuring white flowers in a striped aubergine-shaped pot, with bold pink, red and green patterns for modern wall decor.

risography

Risography is a printing technique that combines the speed of digital printing with the charm of traditional printmaking. It was developed in Japan in the 1980s and uses a stencil-like “master” for each colour. The ink is pushed through the master onto the paper, with each colour printed separately. The result is known for its bright colours, soft textures and small imperfections. These variations are part of what makes risograph prints unique and gives them their handmade character.

Pixel Drift 3 by PLUMO, handmade abstract screenprint in pink and orange with geometric pixel shapes, curved forms, and contemporary graphic design composition on white background.

screenprinting

Screen printing is a hands-on, handmade printing technique where ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto paper or another surface. Each colour is printed separately, requiring careful preparation and a manual printing process. The handmade nature of screen printing gives each print a unique character. Slight variations in ink coverage, texture and registration are part of the process, making every print feel individual and tactile.

giclee printing

Giclée printing is a high-quality digital printing technique developed in the 1990s. It uses an inkjet printer to spray tiny droplets of archival ink onto paper or other fine-art surfaces, creating detailed and colour-accurate reproductions. The technique is especially popular for art prints because it can capture subtle colours, textures and fine details. Combined with high-quality archival materials, giclée prints can have a long lifespan while retaining the look and feel of the original artwork.

Red and blue anatomical heart linocut print with blooming flower and botanical details by Belgian artist Leda Vaes, handmade contemporary wall art in A3 format.

linocutting

Linocut is a handmade printmaking technique in which an image is carved into a sheet of linoleum, leaving the areas that will hold the ink raised. Ink is then rolled onto the surface and pressed onto paper, creating the final print. The carving and printing are done by hand, giving each print a distinctive character. Small variations in texture, pressure and ink make every impression unique.
