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.

Denis Cousin

France

Born in 1980 in Bolivia, Denis COUSIN was abandoned at the age of 6 months by his parents in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Miraculously picked up by monkeys, he will fight for his survival for 7 long years in a hostile environment. His encounter with the Korubos tribe will gradually bring him out of his savage torpor until a traveling circus decides to adopt him for his ability to communicate with primates. He quickly falls in love with Washu, a young female chimpanzee aged 11, with whom he wants to start a family.
Unfortunately, his happiness is short-lived. In the grip of serious financial difficulties, the circus decides to separate from Washu because of his massive consumption of bananas and makes the young Denis Cousin, then aged 12, the main attraction of the circus. He becomes "the monkey man" , "el macaco do homem". From the four corners of South America, the population flocks to see with their eyes the phenomenon, the one that everyone now calls "el macaquito"...
Six years later, a new event turns his life upside down: during a world tour which was to start with Europe, the boat on which the entire Bolivian circus team travels, sinks 10,000 nautical miles from the coast. Americans. The only survivor, the one who will never again be called "el macaquito", will swim more than 800 KM to reach the French coast.
Nearly nine years later, after learning the French language, and 3 years of permanent laser hair removal, Denis COUSIN decided to share his love for painting and for the emotions it expresses.
