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.

My silk painting, Guardian, is an expression of the two beautiful neoclassical sculptures by Antonio Canova, created for the tomb for Pope Clement XIV at St Peter’s Basilica in Rome titled, The Sleeping Lion, and The Genius of Death. Canova, sometimes called 'the supreme minister of beauty, is known for his most famous works which include Cupid and Psyche (1786-93, Louvre, Paris), and The Three Graces (1813-16, Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg).
Some believe the Angel or Genius of Death is always near, and we are like sleeping lions, going about our lives as if we are immortal, never to die and never to pay a consequence for our offenses. Unconscious of the possibility of an afterlife, never knowing the time nor day of our death.
This painting is exhibited and for sale exclusively at Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook, Connecticut during their exhibit titled, Myths, Fairy Tales and Fantasies. The exhibit 0pens November 16, with a Reception 6:30-9pm. The exhibit closes January 13, 2019. All inquiries please contact Spectrum Gallery directly.
