GRAND SCALE FINE ART
"SIGNATURE" WALL PORTRAITS
In the 1880s, John Singer Sargent transformed the world of portraiture with his grand style. Decades later, Yousuf Karsh captured the essence of influential leaders and notable figures. Today, at KGS Studios, Kevin G Saunders has perfected the art of the Grand Scale fine art wall portrait, bringing back the opulence of the Gilded Age for our contemporary New Gilded Age.
Why settle for ordinary when you can own a piece of art that speaks to you? Our Signature Portraits are not just photographs; they are emotional signatures that tell a story in a single frame, inviting reflection. With Kevin's expertise, your portrait will beautifully capture your essence in a way that only fine art can.
Our Signature Portrait Criteria:
Size: A true Signature Portrait starts at 30" x 40" and can be scaled up to an impressive 120 inches.
Quality: Our black and white portraits are created on fiber-based, museum-grade photographic paper, with every detail carefully developed. The color portraits are printed on the finest canvas, ensuring both vibrancy and longevity.
Presentation: Each portrait is complemented by museum-grade frames, lighting, and personalized nameplates, all designed to honor your legacy for generations to come.
The Experience:
Duration: Your session will span approximately 60 to 120 minutes.
Preparation: We encourage you or your representative to make a preliminary visit to our studio to ensure you feel comfortable in the setting. At a minimum, we ask that you explore our website and watch our videos, as this preparation and knowledge significantly enhance the value of your portraits, which are designed to last for 200 years. We understand that your time is valuable, and we promise to provide an experience that respects your schedule while allowing us to capture your true self.
