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.

"Even though I attended Kinshasa School of Fine Arts (les Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa), the streets were my real school. That’s where I got my game and inspiration. My real teachers were the forgers, the blacksmiths, from whom, for 5 long years, I learnt to tame the fire and mastered the technique of welding."
Freddy Tsimba is an artist-sculptor from the Democratic Republic of Congo, born in 1967 in Kinshasa
He is a master of assembling and welding of scraps, recycled materials like cartridges cases, machetes, spoons, forks, scissors, keys and other recovered materials with personal profound meaning to him.
His works are etched in the epoch we live in, as witnesses of Time.
“Being an artist, in my view, means not having things pass me by : as a visual artist, everything matters and holds interest for me and I have a say in things that happen around me, like politics or social issues. I draw lines of reflection on matters on which I haven’t found answers to. I provide food for thought. My work is a reflexive investigation”.
