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.

Andrei Klenov

United States

- Born in Moscow in 1967. My father was a geomorphologist. And he was also an amateur artist. My father often took me with him to the open air (both winter and summer). And also together with him we went to exhibitions of various artists and museums. Thus, I have loved the art of painting since childhood. I took an example from my father - I tried to paint him with paints (and also loved to draw caricatures and devils with horns with pencils). Currently, I prefer the genre: landscape (I spent a lot of time outside the city in nature and fell in love with painting nature en plein air). I really love Russian nature. I consider Levitan, Korovin and other Russian landscape painters to be my spiritual teachers (except my father). I am a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia. Many paintings are in private collections in different countries of the world. In the end, I had to leave Russia. I currently live and work in New York City.

- finished the courses of folk painting: and I heard the Khokhloma painting, Gorodetsky painting, Severodvinsk painting, as well as Gzhel.- also studied at ZNUI (Correspondence University of Arts in Moscow) in the class of easel painting.
