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.

Cette sculpture en forme de totem s'inscrit dans ma galerie "Fairie, mythologie".
Comme Méduse elle est issue de la mythologie grecque :
"Dans la mythologie grecque, Éthra ou Æthra (en grec ancien Αἴθρα / Aíthra) est une Océanide, fille d'Océan et de Téthys. Elle passe pour la mère d'Hyas et des Hyades, conçus avec Atlas."

Je l'ai conçue à partir d'une planche d'épave de barque arrachée dans les rochers Bretons, cette planche a gardé de très intéressants dépôts d'anciennes peinture bleue, de rouille et de goudron .
Elle est scellée dans un bloc de stéatite taillée auquel j'ai collés quelques morceaux de granit moussu (ramassés aussi sur la côte de granit rose).
Sur la planche, sont fixés des coquillages et algues de ces mêmes plages.

Les algues colorées en bleu et vert sont à l'origine des ces algues vertes nocives que j'ai nettoyées et désinfectées à l'eau de Javel ; Je les ai teintes par la suite avec des teintures liquides et mises en forme de vagues au séchage ...

Le masque de mon océanide (issu d'un vide-grenier) est en laiton, j'a peint ses yeux en vert de gris ainsi que l'arrière de la planche par endroits..

Elle devra rester à l'intérieur je pense à cause des algues .

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.
