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.

Jean Pierre Tachon is a contemporary French painter hailing from the picturesque Rhône-Alpes region. His artistic journey began with a formal education at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, and later, in Saint Etienne, where he was fortunate to study under the tutelage of the esteemed painter and engraver, Weisbuch. Under Weisbuch's guidance, Tachon developed a profound appreciation for the interplay of images and lines, cultivating a unique blend of precision and vibrant color in his art.

Tachon's career took an intriguing turn as he ventured into the realm of home textiles design. His creative talents were put to use in crafting collections for renowned European factories. Over time, he assumed increasingly significant roles within the industry, eventually finding himself in managerial positions. This phase of his career allowed him to embark on numerous global adventures, including extensive journeys throughout the world.

One pivotal chapter in Tachon's artistic evolution unfolded during his travels to the United States, particularly during an inspiring stay in the vibrant metropolis of New York City. The energy and creativity of the city acted as a catalyst, igniting his innovative approach to painting.

Initially, Tachon delved into the meticulous structures of contemporary architecture. He explored the dynamic interplay of color within the confines of vertical and horizontal masses, giving rise to intricate geometric compositions. Over time, this exploration led him down a path towards abstraction. However, even in his abstract works, he masterfully leaves open avenues for viewers' imaginations to roam freely.
