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.

L'amie d'une amie d'une amie m'a contacté pour faire un cadeau original. Pour mieux cerner la personne et pouvoir l'intégrer dans mon travail de collagiste, je lui ai envoyé mon Dom(K)Questionnaire. Suite à ses réponses, j'ai réalisé ce portrait de Nicols Sirkis avec des détails "cachés". Une façon de l'inviter à regarder plus qu'à voir une oeuvre d'art.

A friend of a friend of a friend contacted me to make an original gift. To better understand the person and be able to integrate them into my work as a collagist, I sent them my Dom(K)Questionnaire. Following his answers, I made this portrait of Nicols Sirkis with "hidden" details. A way of inviting him to look more than to see a work of art.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Paper

Sculpture technique using a light and flexible material forming a thin sheet.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Dominique Kerkhove (DomKcollage)

France

Kerkhove Dominique, alias Dom(K) is an artist, Euro citizen, tireless walker and patient observer, he search on the walls of cities what makes my raw material: the poster. Ecological Realistic, he use what already exists to transform it. He create "Made-Ready" (or collages) from torn posters. He breathe a new destiny into an ephemeral urban creation to make a contemporary work that fits into time. Free from the straitjacket of a specific doctrine, he recognize, however, a technical proximity used by certain artists: exploitation of under posters (Dufresnes), all over (Pollock), take-off (Vostell). Made-Ready is not a style of collage but an approach that expresses itself through a plurality of pictorial forms whose central element is the paper (poster) resulting (torn) from an urban context. Despite various attempts at hierarchical classification, my work is in no way allegorical. It is concrete and materialistic. It is a narrative work of incarnation. I consciously try to give body to the sensations and perceptions, ideas and values, which constitute my artistic universe. With his Made-Ready he translate his emotions into evolving series (questionings) whose themes address a society in full industrial, moral and climatic change. Made-Ready" where he invite the spectator to react on his own certainties and evidences. A subtle game between voluntary and involuntary memory. Close to the art brut, I define my resolutely abstract positioning for a thematic yet figurative of our society."
