The artist recently wrote:
'I've always painted and made prints;
always believed art should be part of life, not something
one visits reluctantly like distant relations. My view is
that people should be able to acquire an artist's original
work at a modest price. So, from the first crude press I built
to print my childish linocuts, through my days at the Bolt
Court School of Art and Lithography in Fleet Street, to my
silk screening, the print has always been my chosen medium.
For the last two years, the computer has become my pen, my
brush and my delight. But it is merely one of my trusty tools;
heaven forbid it should ever get the upper hand!'

Acquiring miniprints is a growing interest among collectors
worldwide. Usually under ten centimetres square, the
prints exploit some of the artist's most popular themes.They
were first shown at the 2001 Mini Print International
Exhibition at the Taller Galería in Cadaqués,
Spain. As the owner of the Isabel Bilbao Galería
del Arte, in Alicante, remarked: 'They are little
jewels to hang on our walls and warm our hearts.'

LIMITED EDITIONS
Geoff Sadler's silkscreen and giclée
images are not reproductions. Each one is an original, fine
art print, produced in limited editions, numbered, dated and
signed by the artist. They are then authenticated with an
embossing by Editions 4, the artist's private editioning press,
to ensure their provenance.
WHAT ARE GICLÉE PRINTS?
Giclée, pronounced 'jee-clay,' comes
from the French to splatter or squirt. The artist exploits
this in an innovative way to produce a superior form of inkjet
print, using an advanced, six-colour, technical process, on
specially treated, heavyweight watercolour paper.
