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.

François Carage

Réunion

François Carage is a complete artist, both painter and photographer, whose work is marked by a search for narration and history through his images. From an early age, he began to paint, then turned to photography as a student of Jean-Pierre Sudre at ESSAG in Paris. Inspired by the work of Dorothea Lange and Jean-Lou Sieff, he became a professional photographer, specializing in still life and working on major advertising campaigns.

At the same time, François Carage continues his activity as a painter and illustrator. In 1989, he moved to Reunion Island as a painter-muralist, winning several competitions including one for the Stella Matutina museum. His fame grew rapidly, subsequently exhibiting at the black frame gallery in Saint-Denis.

After several years of interior architecture and design, François Carage decides to go around the world in a sailboat. Today, he lives and works in Saint-Leu, on the island of La Réunion. His search for narrative through his works has remained present, and he continues to seek to tell a story through each of his images, faithful to the words that once touched him: "what I like in your photos, is that each of them tells a story". Born in 1949, his artistic career is rich and diversified.
