From our experience, collecting valuable art does not have to break the bank or require a trip to New York, London, or LA's hottest contemporary gallery. 1xRUN is working with leading established and emerging artists providing weekly limited edition, signed, authentic and exclusive print runs. These print releases, or RUNS, are open for one week only. Once it closes, the work is produced to the specifications and quantity sold in the RUN. 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 Urban Art team Low Bros consists of two brothers, Qbrk and Nerd, born in Hamburg, northern Germany. When they were children the two brothers loved to draw and invented their own little stories and fantasy worlds while playing in the backyard or being in the countryside. You’ll still find both influences, the urban and natural in their work today. Later they started to paint graffiti and where also co-founders of "The Weird", which was founded together with Nychos, Cone, Hr. v. Bias, Dxtr, Rookie, Look and Vidam from Peachbeach and Frau Isa. The brothers have always painted together, but it took while before they began to create their characters together and develop their own common, geometric style. Ever since, they have gone by the name Low Bros. Hailing from throughout Germany and Austria, we are excited to welcome the collective internationally known as The Weird to 1xRUN as they join us for their Detroit group show! Each member of the international mural and illustration collective -- CONE, DXTR, FRAU ISA, HRVB, LOW BROS, NYCHOS, LOOK, VIDAM and ROOKIE -- focus their work on high quality character design created in unique yet recognizable styles. In addition to street art and graffiti murals, they work as gallery artists, professors, graphic designers, illustrators and lecturers throughout Europe. Showcasing a sharp, vibrant and aggressive palette with both gallery and street work, the collective has painted murals throughout the world and have worked for high profile clients spanning Converse to Red Bull. Their first group show in Berlin in 2012 was hailed a huge success and the collective has been featured in publications throughout the US and Europe including Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose and Amateur Magazine.
