About the Chiarograph (Key-ar-oh-graph) process. 

Each piece in this black paper limited edition is carefully hand-created using a proprietary technique called Chiarography. It is a fusion of traditional printmaking and the latest digital technology. The characteristic of the Chiarograph medium is unique: while each one has a pattern or part of an image that is repeated, the individual hand painting preparation results in a one-of-a-kind print. Thus, no two prints are identical.

First, each sheet of 485-gram, archival, acid-free black paper undergoes a hand-brushed basecoat, which will become the printed area. This hand application of the basecoat creates the brush stroke texture behind the printed image and ensures each piece in the edition is unique, as no two pieces will ever have the same hand-painted undercoat. Using archival, pigmented inks, the chirography printing process identifies the undercoat and prints only on the hand-painted area thereby applying the artwork over the texture, and out to the edges of the brushwork. This creates a uniquely organic and whimsical effect on the outer border of each image.

There’s a reason Disney’s movies resonate with so many—the stories are rich with character, inspiration and so much more. The talented artists behind our Disney Art Collection have recreated those ever-lasting stories in each painting for us to enjoy and treasure for years to come.
