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.

Franck Le Boulicaut, a contemporary French multidisciplinary artist, rekindled his passion for painting in 2007. An artist enamored with light and influenced by luminaries such as Eric Bari, Marc Folly, Jean-Claude Chaillou, and Fabienne Rubin, he endeavors to interpret the universe of renowned artists like Cézanne, Caravaggio, and Sargent in his own unique style.

Employing the alla prima technique, Le Boulicaut's figurative paintings reflect a meticulous attention to detail in the balance of compositions, from masses and placements to colors. Yet, amidst this precision, he embraces a deliberate imprecision in his brushstrokes, lending his works a sense of spontaneity and vitality.

Throughout his career, Le Boulicaut has been recognized for his artistic achievements. He was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 2022 and received the Taiyo Bijutsu Kyokai prize at the Salon des Artistes Français at Art Capital in 2019. Additionally, he was named the winner (9th) of the Best Artist 2017 competition in the magazine Practice of the Arts in 2018.

Franck Le Boulicaut's artistic journey continues to evolve as he explores new avenues of expression, leaving an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene with his compelling and meticulously crafted works.
