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.

Painted on silk using acrylic and clear Gutta.

Influenced by the 1994 Monterey improvisational duet by Christian McBride and Ray Brown, my muse became the reverberating heartbeat of the jazz bass. I was inspired to create expressive gesture and movement through the use of brilliant color and line.
In my silk painting "Off the Cuff", two fellow bassists engaged in a soulful conversation.

"Off the Cuff" will be exhibited April 18 – May 26, 2014 at Arts Center Killingworth’s NEW!
