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.

Adokou Sana Kokouvi, a talented artist hailing from Togo, was born in the year 1986. His artistic journey has been marked by a profound connection to the people and stories of Burkina Faso, where he has resided and worked since 2010. Within the vibrant cultural tapestry of this West African nation, Adokou has found the inspiration and passion that fuel his creative endeavors.

His artistic pursuits have been diverse, encompassing the realms of calligraphy, screen printing, and drawing. Adokou's commitment to honing these skills reflects his dedication to artistic craftsmanship. Yet, his artistic vision extends far beyond mere technical mastery; it seeks to capture the essence of the human experience, particularly within the marginalized and forgotten segments of Burkinabè society.

Adokou's artistic muse is partially drawn from his admiration for the iconic Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose work serves as a wellspring of inspiration. Much like Basquiat, Adokou endeavors to stage the stories of those who are often overlooked, offering a poignant portrayal of the neglected facets of Burkinabè society. Through the medium of painting, he endeavors to bridge the divide between "them" and "us," fostering empathy and understanding across cultural boundaries.
