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.

Didier Meynard

France

In the impossible and the unthinkable, the painted beings of Didier Meynard wander wildly. Clothed in space, they are made of stains, puddles, wefts, and wakes. Partial, haggard, ghostly and indestructible, they inhabit immensity. They traverse the expanse, and the expanse traverses them. Passing all places, they have no place to exist, except that of high painting. They each correspond to a precarious and metamorphic state, tiny and fragile. They will no doubt be destroyed the moment they appear, because they are without a foundation. Plenitude serves as a foil for those incomplete, when they abandon themselves to the infinity of their lacks. They have lost all their support in prisons, in an atmosphere of chaos, in a vertical sumptuousness. Thus painting, charged with mystery and the unsaid, with meaning and nonsense, with subterranean sensitivity and adventurous signs, is a mirror of existence that is more real and truer than the badly experienced appearance of things.< /p>
