REALISTIC PENCIL DRAWINGS | FINE ART PRINTS | BY ARTIST GRANT GERRITZEN

ARTISTIC FORETHOUGHT

Art has many purposes and functions. Among the many are to inspire, capture a moment, or call attention to a subject. The artwork featured on this site aim to accomplish all of these goals by utilizing graphite realism to bring forth direct acknowledgment and highlight important social issues. Each depiction serves as a mirror in which we can objectively understand the situation or symbolism relevant to important subject matter. The pencil drawings you see on this site do feature ideas and imagery in which some may find sensitive by nature. These elements however are used to promote conversation on how we actually live and create awareness within to understand our own perceptions, prejudices, and actions in life.

MOTIVATION & FOCUS

The overall goal is to closely replicate the unique aspects, quality, and features from select graphite pencil drawings onto a quality print that resembles the same characteristics of the original in every way possible. All considerations were brought forth in regards to the printer technology, comparison grayscale testing sessions with professional ICC profile configurations, and thorough stock sampling to replicate the actual look and feel of each piece. Amazingly enough, I’m happy to say the results are quite gratifying, and now very proud to offer this rare art collection online.
