Original Artwork Painting, Acrylic

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.

Acrylique sur toile de lin montée sur châssis, prête à accrocher. Côtés peints en noir.
Toile vernie, signée au dos et livrée avec un certificat d'authenticité de l'artiste. Le sceau de l'artiste est apposé dans l'oeuvre.

L’œuvre intitulée « Montagnes qui Pleurent » est une composition pseudo-abstraite mêlant peinture acrylique, brou de noix, et incrustations de papier de riz fibreux. Des nappes colorées translucides se superposent pour composer ce paysage abstrait où les montagnes sont faites de lambeaux de papier teintés au bleu de Prusse et au brou de noix. Un vernis opaque est utilisé pour recouvrir l'intégralité de la composition, à l'exception des nappes brumeuses opalescentes et de la section bleutée bénéficiant d’un vernis brillant reflétant la lumière. Le sceau de l'artiste est apposé sur la gauche de la composition. L'empreinte est faite à l'aide d'un sceau en pierre sculptée imprégné de pâte Zhusha rouge cinabre.

Original hand-made painting created with acrylic paints on high-quality streched linen canvas ready to hang. Edges are painted in black.
The painting is varnished, signed on the back and delivered with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. The artist seal is affixed on the artwork.

The painting entitled « Crying Mountains » is a pseudo-abstract evocation combining acrylic painting, walnut stain, and fibrous rice paper embedding. Coloured and translucid layers are superimposed on each other to compose this abstract landscape where the mountains are made of rice paper shreds tinted with Prussian blue and walnut stain. A matte varnish covers the whole painting, except for the opalescent mist and blue area that benefit from a glossy varnish reflecting light. The artist seal is affixed on the left of the painting. This print is made with a carved seal stone impregneted with Zhusha cinnabar seal paste.

David Vall

France

David Vall was born in France in 1978. Even though graphite pencil drawing, Chinese ink painting and Japanese calligraphy were early artistic interests to him, he turned towards higher education in science and became a researcher in behavioural neurosciences. Two years spent in British Columbia led him to discover natural scenery and lights of deep emotional intensity that awakened interest in the use of colours for his painting. His sources of inspiration are multiple: a piece of art he admired, the remembrance of scenery he contemplated, an emotion or a state of mind that holds on to his soul and wishes to take shape. Many of his artworks are also inspired by natural elements.

“We are dealing with artworks that start from reality observation – colors and textures are the proof – but there seems to be even more: an obvious emotional implication turning into a chaotic element that gives an extra dimension to the compositions. The colors are natural but become material and the contrasts are inevitably accentuated, the textures are those of the bark, the water or the soil, or even simply the sight of a landscape obscured by the mist. Despite the particular character of these works, we find a dynamism very engaging as well by their compositional development as by the chromatic contrasts, and even when these are absent, the textured materials compensate this lack. David Vall's landscapes revolve around the artist's sensitivity, establishing a privileged relationship between the viewer, the work and the author, in which the existence of such an intoxicating emotional dimension becomes the reason to give life to the works but also to enjoy them during a moment of relaxed contemplation.”
Marcello Cazzaniga, art critique and curator (translated from Italian).
