    Hi Buttons, I know Gottfried lives part of the year in the US, so I'm guessing he gets canvas and prints done in the US. Possibly Austria.
    Did you know that although the Waterford installation was digital work printed on vinyl, a lot of his earlier work (children pics) is in fact painted.
    I even suspect that in fact some of the digitally photographed and reproduced works for the exhibition were originally paintings.

    These are mixed media on canvas for example :
