Original Artwork Painting, Oil

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.

Inspiration
Tea time. This still life consists of a highly reflective metallic teapot, fine china cup, teabag and pear. The still life is about rendering different surfaces in paint. There is also a game of complementary colour against the other neutrals, red design on the cup against the green background and purplish teabag tag with the yellowish pear. Again I placed the objects barely fitting in the canvas so that it will look like the viewer is on the table ready to have tea.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Christopher Vidal

Australia

Chris Vidal is an Australian contemporary realist artist who lives and works in Sydney, Australia. His interest in arts started from very young. At the age of 13 he attended and studied classical drawing at[...]

His initial work was inspired by artists from the Renaissance and Baroque eras such as Caravaggio and Rembrandt. Life took Chris in a different direction and he pursued a career as a medical scientist and researcher, working for government, universities and private institutions in Malta and Australia.

His interest in the art of painting remained alive along the years and although time was limited he was trying to find the opportunity to experiment with various media. His interest and curiosity in oil painting pushed him to buy a simple set of oil paints and a book to teach himself how to paint in oils. From that time onward he never looked back and the regular practice of the art improved his skills dramatically. After a number of years he was ready to take the decision to leave his life long career in science to become a professional artist. His current body of work consists of various representations of the Australian landscape inspired by places he visits. His style of work is influenced by the American landscape painters of the Hudson River School and Australian impressionists of the Heidelberg movement as well as master artists such as Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent and contemporary American and Australian artists. His works were published and featured in books and magazines such as The Australian Artist.

From his home studio in Sydney he produces a continuous stream of new works and commissioned paintings. His works are now found in private and corporate collections in Australia and Internationally.
