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.

I wanted to mark the occasion of this Christmas 1989, spent in front of the TV to follow the situation in Romania. Not really festive. For this kind of event, however "people" it may be, Paris Match generally presents excellent photos. All that remained was to use all that and build the scenario (I sometimes define myself as a filmmaker on canvas) [...]

Christian Girault

France

Christian Girault is a contemporary French artist whose artistic journey began at the age of fourteen, when a drawing teacher introduced him to the tactile and reactive qualities of artistic materials. Captivated by their sensuality, Christian immersed himself in the experience, quickly abandoning gouache, pencil, and pastels for more dynamic mediums.

By the time he reached young adulthood, Christian had developed a strong technical foundation, often working from photographic inspirations. Notably, he transformed black-and-white photos into vivid color paintings, showcasing his artistic freedom and innovative approach.

In the 1980s, Christian’s work took on a new dimension with the integration of conceptual depth. This shift introduced a meticulous creative process, which he describes as "cinema on canvas"—a practice where he envisions a detailed scenario for his artwork, sometimes allowing ideas to mature for months before realizing them on canvas.

A passionate traveler, Christian’s explorations have deeply influenced his art, even pausing his production at times. His dedication to his craft has earned him recognition, with six awards from exhibitions celebrating his talent.

Christian’s versatility extends beyond painting; he is also a photographer and writer-traveler, embracing diverse forms of expression. While he thrives in the contemporary art scene, he resists being confined by trends and remains open to new possibilities. With a playful nod to the future, Christian notes that he is not yet a sculptor, leaving the door open for continued evolution in his artistic journey.
