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.

"UNE AME AU CIEL" pastels a l'huile et huile sur papier 50x35 cm
Il s’agit au fil des ans de définir une empreinte, une chromatique, une gestuelle particulières, d’évoluer vers toujours plus de spontanéité, de dépouillement et de liberté dans l’expression. Mais il est également question d’accompagner un travail spirituel, une écoute intérieure méditative, d’enraciner dans la matière un lien fragile à des Mondes Invisibles et silencieux qui soufflent et guident, tenter d’unir un peu du Ciel et de la Terre, de façon la plus sensible et ajustée possible.

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.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

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.

Eve Clair

France

Born in Paris on 9 April 1972, former student of the School of Graphic Design
Met Penninghen (Académie Julian) and the CFT Gobelins (specialization storyboard), I first worked as a graphic designer, then as a storyboarder in the design of animation for several years before exclusively devoting me to painting in 2004.

My practice of painting

Formed in a very academic school, where drawing was at the center of learning, I first placed the portrait as an exercise, a technical challenge. I executed many portraits in oil, mostly large sizes.

Gradually, I evolved towards more spontaneity and freedom. The work of deconstruction to a more intimate and stripped painting led me naturally to the discovery of abstract painting.
Part of my work reflects this transition between figuration and abstraction, transformation that took several years to occur.
Today my focus is exclusively on abstract painting. My goal is to reach out to paint the most intimate and as free as possible.
My studio is located in the old Nanterre (92), possible visit by appointment. Tel: 06 15 79 10 35
