This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a photograph of graffiti art depicting a man scrubbing the wall of writing that reads "what we do in life echoes in eternity". Banksy is an English graffiti artist, film director, painter, and political activist. His subversive, satirical artwork can be found on streets, walls, and bridges all over the world. His first film, "exit through the gift shop", was nominated for the academy award for best documentary in 2011, and he was awarded person of the year at the 2014 webby awards. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
