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.

The main subject matter of my art is celebrities of all times in literature, films, music and all other artistic genres. My main questions is whether they are real artists or mere celebrities. The public ceaselessly idolize these figures by uncritically accepting their staged images. Through my work, I tried to express the difference between their signature images and their real-selves. The vibrant color scheme and contrast in my paintings demonstrate their various emotional temperature for devotional commitment to art. It presents their realization of such emotions as delightfulness and happiness yet ironically reveals the opposite such as sorrow and sadness acquired through the attitude of self-sacrifice hidden at the same time. At last, my works brings a rhythmical sense by using a residual image effect expressing the powerful energy and such a feeling forces viewers to fully understand how great and powerful these artists are at a single glance.
