Materials & Technique
You like our work and wonder what quality we offer. We are True Art Lovers and are very precise about our development methods. For our WALL ART we exclusively print Fine Art on gallery quality paper or Fine Art Chromogenic prints on Acrylic Glass.
The artworks are made by mixed media, photography and digital painting techniques. A digital painting is not a photograph, its made by painting with pixels and mixing photography textures to add detail and realism to the images we create. Our paintings look realistic because we take time to do it right. On average our fine art images takes us around 3 months to develop. From concept phase to having a physical first physical test print in our hands. Some ideas can move quicker (Hot Buns) and we have images that we have been working on for 8 months. Every artist has his or her own technique. It starts with a concept written in sketchbooks and is created by a mixture of design, AI, Lightroom, Photoshop, traditional photography and digital painting techniques.
Design & Art Sculptures
Materials depend on the concept. We work with recycled materials as much as possible. The artworks are creatively directed by LCLS and build by artisans that master the specific material discipline (glass, wood, rock, wool, fabrics). We always work with expert teams. If the artworks are massive we also work with local teams on our projects.

Acrylic Glass Fine Art including Black Frame.
Ready to hang on your walls with a black gallery frame. The photo finish is your photo between dibond (aluminum) and plexiglass (acrylic glass). The artwork is printed as an original Lambdaprint (thats the best). The photo is then mounted on dibond, and the front side is glued to 4mm plexiglass with transparent silicone. We only work with original brands such as dibond and plexiglass. The colour is guaranteed to stay consistent for at least 150+ years and is used for archival purposes. Lambda is a photo processing method similar to authentic celluloid photo development. It looks like the real deal because it is. Most high end galleries use this method.
Acrylic Glass Hanging system
At the back, the artwork is fitted with an aluminum hanging profile. This makes the artwork come off-the-wall floating. This technique ensures absolute shape retention and durability of your artwork. Optionally, it is possible to provide your artwork with a wooden tray frame or a classic frame.
Custom Made
Other options (like Canvas or Large Prints for Exhibitions) are available upon request. Our prints are made in Germany of the highest standards. If you like to know more about our printing method reach out.
Quality and our Resolution
As we mentioned, we are quality addicts. To showcase our class in craft we will share you an example. View " King of The Jungle " below:
Here is a closeup of the hand. As you can see, it's pristine and we care a lot about crafting every pixel. With our latest technique we have beaten our mid format Hasselblad camera's resolution levels and can blow up frames till extreme sizes with amazing detail. On physical prints, we work with our Lambda C Type print lab that can handle 68 billion colours. (thats more then the human eye can see). Art enthusiast are covered and we are extremely careful with our work and prints. Thats why we usually take 3 months work for each fine art print. That's makes us all LCLS.
Below an example of our resolution and quality " Equilibrium " on human faces, like skin textures, eyes and hairs. These are always difficult to achieve correctly. We also use traditional photography to add realism to textures where needed, like Noah Valentyn does on all his work.
Closeup on skin textures and detail is carefully made. Even the shine on the metal is well balanced and breathes authenticity and handmade craftsmanship (and its beautiful imperfections to make it real). This is also the reason why we take 3 weeks to ship our work. After the order we take a week to double check every new print, then it takes a 5 days to develop the print in the lab and adding a black frame another 5 days. We hope this gives you an idea what LCLS work looks like. It takes longer to do this, but its always worth it.
