Canvas art, whether an original painting or an ink jet print on canvas, is usually on stretched canvas on a frame. Poster prints are more simple and tend to come on an art paper. Times are changing though, with the latest printing techniques, inks and stocks, very different effects are being achieved.

An example of such work is the A_B_ Peace & Terror etc. Version 2. It is a dual-sided silk-screen print on GFSmith Plasma Polycoat Glass Clear, 350 micron plastic. Not just a move forward using plastic instead of canvas or paper but the links now available to screen printers and litho printers give a very different feel. The A_B_ Peace & Terror etc. Version 2 A_side is printed with verso graphite metallic black ink and the B_side is printed using recto pearlescent white ink.

This landmark piece of work is by Peter Crnokrak, the internationally renowned graphic artist who has worked as a Senior Designer at The Apartment in New York and Nick Bell Design in London. Peter's produced remarkable work for clients as diverse as MTV and the Mobile Digital Commons Network in Montreal. Not surprisingly, his unique creative output has caught the eye of numerous publications, including Creative Review and Grafik.

The way in which a piece of wall art or limited edition print is displayed is becoming a big part in the final effect the piece conveys. With of piece of work printed on a transparent stock, it enables the limited edition print to be displayed either transparently, within sheets of protective glass, or with coloured card inserted to create a background colour that suits the location. This gives the owner of the wall art input into the way the print looks whilst also complimenting their interior. A transparent stock also allows printing on both sides and it to be visible to achieve further effect.

Limited edition prints are a very accessible way of owning a piece of artwork. As with such landmark and distinctive pieces such as A_B_ Peace & Terror etc, they make a huge impact. They are quite often very graphical which makes for maximum visual impact and individuality.
