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.

C'est une gravure augmentée, plusieurs technique se mélange pour fabriquer une image esthétique aux accents lumineux.
Prenant comme motif l'un des "modules" de l'installation LeND (ici, le module "Présence") , sont décliné sur une feuille de papier d'art, différentes techniques : gaufrage sur gravure en taille douce puis deux report d'images dont l'un des motif est emprunté à la culture de l'Egypte antique...

Cette petite gravure de 20cm sur 16 cm environ fait partie d'un corpus plus général qui accompagne une réflexion au long-court sur la notion de "l'espace symbolique privé" avec l'exploitation d'une installation (mélangeant une table de ping-pong et une tête de lit ; ces deux objet sont confondus et transformés) depuis 10 ans comme laboratoire de formes.
La notion d'espace symbolique privée questionne notre rapport aux lieux et les habitudes de vies, la manière de se l'approprier et d'utiliser ces ressources qu'elles soient réelles, symboliques ou imaginaires.
L'homme à malgré lui tendance à calquer son anthropomorphisme à son environnement et le faire plier à ses propres affects...
LeND place le regard au niveau des éléments, de la manière dont on les classe et les distingue, malgrè leur liens invisbles comme un tout entremêlé...

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Etching

Intaglio engraving technique on a metal plate using a chemical mordant (an acid) which will serve as a support for printing.

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

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 Printmaking

Printmaking was originally used to communicate. Exceptional technical characteristics make it a valuable artistic medium. The artist creates an image on a flat surface to make a print. To create an original print, the artist inks the surface and presses it onto paper. Printmaking is the process of printing artworks Usually on paper but also fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces. ... Except for monotyping, all printing processes can produce identical multiples from the same artwork. The works thus produced are called prints or "impressions".

Baptiste Vanweydeveldt

France

Visual artist, born in 1978 in Lille. currently lives in Caen, France.

I situate my work between a laboratory of forms (search for volume through drawing, painting and sculpture) and a tendency towards DIY (recycling of found objects and materials, transformation of their uses, reinvestment of their signs and questions about their subjects). I approach several mediums at the same time in order to extend the creative process to other fields of research: anthropology, natural sciences, etc.
The pooling of the two works like a small world with its own energy flows.
Usually I start with a series of sketches, notes and diagrams. I also rely on my reading, on a lot of images, which I feed on with bulimia. I exhaust their meanings until there is emulsion. This may explain the dreamy but also saturated appearance of my installations. Without cultivating a pessimistic view of the world, despite everything, I question our future through figures that are close to us, towards an imaginary that I wish to be collective; it is an opening onto a composition with multiple perspectives.
My recurring themes are environmental around the domus (house, private sphere/public sphere, hospital, etc.) and the extended living, according to a spatial questioning centered on the flow of energies, on magnetism and a set of enigmatic correlations.
