Giclée - Regular Print Edition is a regular signed and numbered limited edition print, based off the artist proof. 

Giclée - Artist Proof Print Edition is a signed and numbered limited edition print. An Artist Proof is the process of the artist manually matching the original painting colour to the limited edition giclée print colour. For example, the pupil of an animal’s eye may be slightly darker on one Artist Proof than another. Each Artist Proof is slightly different in colour / different in color. An original if you will. Many artists charge a 20% premium because of this. Artist Proof Print Editions are usually limited to 10% (20 prints) of the Regular Print Edition (200 prints) for example. They are the most sought after limited edition by international art collectors.

About This Polar Bear Wildlife Art Painting – Into The Light

Into The Light – Polar Bear © 2018 is an original acrylic painting on Masonite by Canadian wildlife artist Michael Pape. While the original painting has been sold, its story and conservation message remain timeless.

This exclusive wildlife painting pays homage to Inukshuk, a male Polar Bear orphan from Resolute, Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic. After a tragic encounter in which his starving mother was killed while seeking food, Inukshuk was found as a cub near the airport and eventually transported to the Toronto Zoo. Today, he stands at 5’9” on all fours and weighs 1,200 lbs — a majestic symbol of the Arctic’s wildlife resilience.

In this painting, I imagined Inukshuk on a stage, with the world as his audience. Through his power, vulnerability, and grace, he continues to captivate those who encounter him. The work reflects the urgent reality of climate change in the Arctic, where melting sea ice threatens Polar Bears’ ability to hunt seals, their primary food source.

Through Into The Light, I invite viewers to experience hope, empowerment, and a deeper connection to one of the most iconic species of the far North. It is the innate intelligence, emotion, and sensitivity of animals like Inukshuk that I strive to capture in every wildlife painting. Having observed these animals firsthand, I aim to give them a voice and inspire conservation through art.
