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.

______________________

Self-taught artist, born in Menton in the Provençale region, from parents whose culture is at the antipodes of each other: a German mother, RUTH TENER and an Algerian father, of Berber origin, ALI BERKANE. This Arab origin has certainly influenced a certain thematic orientation of my (Orientalist) paintings.

At a very young age, drawing immediately fascinated me, then, more recently, watercolor painting. This taste for art could only see the light of day following a professional reorientation. Indeed, 17 years of professional activity in masonry did not allow me to exploit this path. The integration of a Painter / Interior Decorator training at the School of Applied Arts ARTDEC in Nice corresponds more to my aspirations and is planned for October 2005.

After experimenting with charcoal, sanguine and dry pastel, I chose watercolor for its transparency and spontaneity. If orientalist painting where light and bright colors mix, is very prominent in my work, I am particularly seduced by the Artistic Nude where the woman holds a place of honor. Indeed, the Female Nude is my source of inspiration and favorite.

These two themes are opposed by certain aspects and yet are omnipresent in my work: on the one hand the woman, draped in mystery, veiled, unveiled, where the body is dressed in surprising shapes and lights. it is a symbol of sweetness, sensuality and nudity. On the other hand, male characters evolving in a dry, arid and harsh country. Indeed, Orientalism, in my painting, is mainly defined by landscaped scenes of desert, streets, architecture and male characters (Berber, hunter, rider).

My first exhibition of Orientalist works will take place from September 17, 2005 at the village of Antiquaries in Isle sur Sorgue. Another exhibition (orientalist and female nude themes) begins in Menton from February 4, 2006.
