FINE ART ORCHID
HYPER-REALISTIC CONTEMPORARY ART
COLLECTION
In 2012, artist Kevin G. Saunders embarked on an ambitious project in collaboration with Liz and Don O'Toole of E.D. Huntington Orchids and Tropicals. The O'Tooles curated their best award-winning orchids and provided them to Kevin to create a massive Limited Edition Collection, transforming them into fine art prints through a meticulous process.
The Creative Process
Kevin's vision was to capture the essence of these stunning plants through macro and ultra-high-resolution photography, creating composite images that blend up to 100 photographs into a single art piece that echoes the texture and depth of a painting. Almost all of the orchids in this collection are presented in a trio:
A large image of the entire plant showcasing its grandeur.
An image focusing on the bloom itself, capturing its delicate structure.
A detailed close-up of the bloom revealing the intricate beauty often missed by the naked eye.
These images can be displayed together for a dramatic gallery wall or individually to complement any space.
The Editions
The collection is offered in various editions, each providing a unique viewing experience:
Grand Scale Edition: 54-120 inches on the long side, limited to 6 prints.
Large Edition: 40-53 inches, with 15 prints available.
Medium Edition: 31-40 inches, offering 25 prints.
Small Edition: 22-30 inches, with 100 prints.
Unlimited Edition: Sized between 16-20 inches, these are freely available and are signed but not numbered.
A Tribute
This collection owes much to the dedication of Liz and Don O'Toole. Their expertise in selecting the most exquisite orchids was pivotal. Sadly, Don has since passed, but their legacy lives on through this art. Kevin extends his deepest gratitude to them, acknowledging that this collection would not have been possible without their passion and involvement.
The collection currently features over 100 images, with new works continually being added, ensuring that this art project remains a living, evolving tribute to the beauty of orchids.
The collection is shown below so you can browse by image. Each image takes you to the listing in the "store" which is actually a catalog where you can choose images and sizes to discuss with Kevin and potentially acquire them. Since everything is custom please contact us for details.
