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.

Bernard Levy is an artist photographer whose photographic career has been built up in small successive touches, according to adventures and personal experiences. This initiatory approach developed at the end[...]

First in film and black and white. Then the color will be invited to restore a complex and plural universe, both real and dreamlike.

This walker lost in his universe likes to roam, stroll, dream, "wander" over time which unfolds to capture the furtive and fugitive moments but also the vibrations of this changing world. He discovers them in the agitation of the urban space and crowds, in rediscovered silence, calm or fragments of solitude. Sometimes in disused sites, destined to be abandoned and forgotten. Then, a handover through images restores their identity visual.

This wandering around the memory of the place raises questions. The author reveals characters and territories to explore, sensitive surfaces sometimes scratched, sometimes transgressive. It invites the visitor to extend the reflection and the story, to seize them, to appropriate them and thus participate in a process of construction and deconstruction of their imagination.

This narrative and visual universe captured on the fly and in the urgency of the fleeting moment is developed around the photographic essay. He draws his inspiration from humanist photography and street photography. And it is willingly offered for a sharing of emotions.

Bernard Levy lives and works in Marseille (France). He participated in many exhibitions mainly in Provence. His book “So Selfie! crossed views” was published in 2021.
