Partners Statue at Disneyland
GOLD VERSION
8x10 inch Art in 11x14 Mat

Located in the hub of Disneyland, the Partners statue is a tribute to the enduring partnership between Walt Disney and his beloved animated character Mickey Mouse. The Partners statue was sculpted by Disney Legend and Imagineer Blaine Gibson and was installed in 1993 for Mickey Mouse’s 65th birthday. Speaking about the sculpture, Blaine comments that Walt is gesturing out into the park and saying to Mickey Mouse, “Look what we created”.

For our signature gold series, the surface is first coated entirely with red oxide paint, followed by a layer of gold leaf. The next stage involves a special printmaking process that allows the digital painting to be entirely melded with the gold leaf and oxide. Once the image has been made one with the golden surface, it is coated in a gloss varnish which dries to a still, tranquil finish that clarifies the image and heightens the brilliance of gold in this one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Only premium watercolor paper and inks are used to create this work of art. Our matting materials are archival and acid-free. In addition to this, knowing that color is important in these works, we have taken steps to preserve it forever. Every image is coated with a UV varnish for long lasting color preservation.
