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.

Au cœur du village de Heyri Art Valley, en Corée du Sud, l'artiste photographe/plasticien Benoît Delomez se met en quête d'un lieu, un espace déconnecté de toute fonctionnalité, voire même d'appartenance à un territoire.
Sa déambulation et son œil de photographe l'amène à sélectionner deux lieux. Comme une évidence, ce mur de béton gris avec ces deux tables renversées l'une sur l'autre ou bien cette bâche plastique recouvrant deux objets mystérieux seront le point de départ de son travail. Le cadrage photographique met en avant les qualités plastiques du lieu, en tant qu' espace de réflexion : interrogation sur la perte d'identité, dualité, miroir. L'artiste pressent là un espace de mise en scène théâtrale, le lieu possible de sa narration en noir et blanc.

Nous entrons dans la galerie. Sur la droite, l'artiste présente une installation, nouvelle recomposition du lieu extérieur choisi, ancrage de l’œuvre présentée ici.
Au sol, un échiquier noir et blanc calligraphié identity, deux duos de tables dépouillées de leur fonctionnalité et aux piétements organiques en aluminium, déconstruites, mises en mouvement tandis qu' au mur, une cartographie puzzle/stickers de la Corée, morcelée et agitée, oscille entre le noir et le blanc……
…..sur l'échiquier de nos différences, l'artiste nous offre ici l'objet table, habituellement symbole d'échanges, de partage, de convivialité, comme réflecteur/lumière pour de possibles négociations.

Des murs/ frontières partout dans le monde ont été un jour construits, coupant l'homme de ses racines, de sa famille, souvent dans la violence et l'obligation d'errance, de fuite. Sujet d'actualité de notre monde contemporain.

Benoit Delomez is a photographer and visual artist whose work has explored the landscape for more than twenty-five years. Whether in natural or urban environments, in motion or still, he seeks to magnify the[...]

His artistic approach is deeply linked to his immediate environment, which he questions in its environmental and architectural specificities. Benoit engages in reflection from the places he chooses, often extended in “in situ” installations during artist residencies. His works have been presented in various places such as the streets of Saint-Lô, the freedom tower at Mont Saint-Michel, or the Château de Lavagnac in Hérault, thus marking his commitment to exploring different territories and cultures across the world.

In his photographic installation work, Benoit Delomez constantly uses mixed techniques. He integrates the mirror and the volume in or on the image, playing with their polysemous and physical characteristics to create unique compositions. The association between photography and the mirror makes it possible to capture fragmented images, disrupting the usual reading references and opening new visual perspectives.

Graduated in Interior Architecture in 1985, Benoit Delomez chose to become a visual artist and photographer in 1992. His work has been widely exhibited and recognized, and he has benefited from numerous artist residencies as well as individual assistance to the creation on the part of the DRAC of Basse-Normandie. In addition to his artistic practice, he is also co-founder and organizer of artistic events, notably within the association "VAERTIGO" and the Contemporary Creation Center "2ANGLES" in Flers de l'Orne, in Normandy.
