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.

The Conservatory Water and Kerb’s Memorial Boathouse in Central Park, New York City, along prestigious Fifth Avenue at the 72nd Street entrance. One of the most peaceful places in the city. So nice to unwind, relax, and watch the many beautiful sailboat models on the water. [...]

United States

An emerging artist, MJ Hoehn is a self-taught painter. Her works are a fusion of acrylics, watercolor, gouache, metallics and gel mediums - “Splashing Colors”- on canvas and paper. Painting to her is like dancing – she tries to capture the joy of movement, and light. Her works are primarily in soft pastel colors mixed with metallics and iridescents, with a splash of color. They have been described as having an “ethereal” or “magical” quality.

She worked for many years in creative environments – advertising, marketing, set design. Her works feature the beautiful lights, colors and reflections along the Hudson River Waterfront and her favorite spots in New York City. She lived for many years near Central Park and Sutton Place in New York, and along the Hudson Waterfront in New Jersey. She became enraptured with the beauty of the architecture and water scenes and started taking pictures of the world around her. Most of her paintings are from these photographs, featuring the beautiful lights, colors and reflections along the Hudson River, as well as her favorite spots in New York City.

Her work also features a collection of dancers, children and lovers captured in movement and light, as well as a series of sunrises and sunsets from around the world. She hopes that her paintings can bring some peace, joy and hope to viewers.
