Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

PROFILE
Betty Jonker
b. Alphen a/d Rijn, working in Emmen, the Netherlands

Betty Jonker picked up her brush and palette at a young age. She began her artistic career as a drawing instructor, and was the co-owner of an advertising consultancy for twenty-five years, where she designed for national and international organisations. In 2001, she decided to bid farewell to the world of advertising, and once again had more time to focus on painting.

Initially, she worked exclusively in oils, but by shifting to acrylics she developed an entirely new style. This style is a confluence/merging of impressionism and expressionism. Betty Jonker's work impresses by a bold style and extraordinary use of color. She paints with a sure and confident hand. Her work shows a background of experience in compositon and color placement.
"My acrylic paintings are characterized by an abundance of color and a cheerful dynamic. I usually use contrasting colors. There are often deeper layers of my paintings.
My painting style is not to be categorized under a particular art movement, there is a mix of Fauvism, Impressionism, Expressionism and Postmodernism. The word "colorist" applies to me. "

Her interpretations, executed in deft brushstrokes, create vibrant impressions of abstract flowers, people, landscapes and animals with a playful nod to human relationships. Betty Jonker exhibits at home and abroad.

Betty is a founding member of the dutch Florence Biennale artists, jury member of the international selection committee for World Art Vision, Cancun, Mexico and the Elephant Parade, Emmen.
