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.

Alicja Chorociej

Poland

Alicja Chorociej is an artist of an uncommon and unique style. She is a painter driven by emotion, strong tensions, and contrasts defined by colour which, as she herself says, makes up her own world. The colour pallet is inextricably connected with the state of the soul and needs to be transferred to the canvas. This is how Alicja’s paintings come into existence. Her works are intellectually sophisticated and visually striking. Her paintings are suitable for both modern and more traditionally featured homes, where upon viewing them at different times of day and depending on the mood, new forms and meanings are to be unveiled.
Alicja Chorociej graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz (1971) and is a member of a member of the Bialystok branch of the Association of Polish Artists. She participated in numerous individual and over thirty group exhibitions, some of them abroad. In 1983 she participated in the XV International Grand Concours organized by the Académie Internationale de Lutèce – a prestigious Parisian institution for the propagation of literature, art and science, where she was distinguished. In 1986 Chorociej’s artistic creativity has been recognized by the Minister of Culture who awarded her with an annual financial scholarship. Between 1972 and 1996 she took part in almost all plein-air workshops organized in Białowieża, highly renown both in Poland and abroad. Between 1982 and 1995 she has been working as a teacher in the School of Arts in Supraśl. In 1995 Alicja Chorociejwas awarded with the Golden Medal “Meritorious for Białystok” (Zasłużony Białostocczyźnie).
