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.

Alle meubelen die een direct contact met de mens vragen, die er zijn voor het lichamelijk comfort, of minstens appeleren aan lichamelijk welzijn, blijken een geliefd onderwerp in de design-wereld.

Een zetel of stoel beweegt vrij in de ruimte, hij nodigt je uit om te gaan zitten of liggen. De zetel of stoel komt als het ware naar je toe en tracht een gevoel van welbehagen te scheppen. Ze hebben ronde vormen om tegemoet te komen aan het menselijk lichaam.

De kast met z'n totaal andere functionaliteit, voornamelijk het contact met voorwerpen in plaats van met het beweeglijke en soepele menselijke lichaam, nodigt tot iets heel anders uit. Bovendien zijn ze quasi alle recht omdat de muren meestal recht zijn en zo geënt op het economisch aspect van het plaats reserveren: buiten de kast voor de bewegingsvrijheid van de mens, en binnenin de kast voor het opbergen van spullen.

Daarom lijken kasten de design-markt niet te inspireren. Kasten lijken geen aspiraties te hebben. Ik wil hen laten deelnemen aan de discussie tussen kunst en design, hun functionaliteit behouden, hun vorm veranderen, ze onafhankelijk maken van de muur en in de ruimte plaatsen als een deelnemer in architectuur en kunst.

Sphere Cupboard.
De bol is een aantrekkelijk vorm. Wanneer men de bol in een huiskamer plaatst dan valt deze gelijik op, een eyecatcher. De bol doorbreekt over het algemeen het(rechte)
lijnenspel.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Furniture

Set of furniture elements which, in a dwelling, an office, etc. is used for the comfort of the inhabitants or the users and for the storage of various objects.

Technic Design

Design or styling is a creative activity often with an industrial or commercial vocation, which can be oriented towards social, political, scientific and environmental circles. The conception of design originated around 1925, both in Germany (W. Gropius and the Bauhaus), the United States (Frank Lloyd Wright) and France (Le Corbusier). Design, or industrial design, has imposed itself everywhere, even if it means becoming Latin (Italian "disegno industriale", Spanish "designio industrial").

Robert Van Den Herik is a contemporary Dutch artist. Drawing inspiration from magical realism and surrealism, particularly from the works of Carel Willink and Salvador Dali, he embarked on his artistic journey. Following his education at the Design Academy Eindhoven, he initially pursued a career as a product designer for different companies. It was during this time that he introduced his own innovative product called the Shantala baby bath, revolutionizing the way babies are bathed.

As his artistic exploration deepened, he delved into the realm of "Art versus Design." He began creating lighting fixtures, furniture, and garden decorations, all meticulously crafted by hand. In these creations, aesthetics often took precedence over functionality, allowing his artistic vision to flourish.
