Original Artwork Painting, Oil

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.

United States

JohnMichael studied architecture at Iowa State University and the University of Minnesota. While attending the U of M, he also began a serious study of fine art painting which resulted in several one-man shows most notably the show at the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis.

While in Minnesota, he won several prestigious awards. In 1993 and again in 1995, he was awarded First Place in the Minnesota Center for the Arts open juried competition, which featured nearly 600 entries both years.

"Fleeting Image", the painting that won First Place in 1993 has recently been made available.
