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.

D'après une œuvre littéraire de Michel Tremblay
Contexte: depuis cinquante ans, Josaphat fait surgir la pleine lune à chaque mois grâce à son talent musical. Il a accepté ce rôle afin de soulager les chevaux qui, auparavant enchainés, suaient sang et eau pour extirper l’astre des entrailles de la terre. Peur de passer pour fou, Josaphat doit garder cela pour lui. Désabusé il se rend au parc pour remplir son rôle accompagné de Rose, Mauve, Violette et leur mère Florence (allégories des Parques et des Muses que seuls les artistes peuvent voir dans les récits de Michel Tremblay). Voici ce qui arrive :
"Puis, par-dessus la musique, mêlés à elle plutôt. Enroulés dedans, des hennissements jaillissent, des hennissements joyeux, pas ceux des chevaux souffrants qu’il avait entendus quand il était enfant, de purs éclats de rire si tant est que les chevaux pouvaient rire. Et des piétinements de pattes. Enfin, comme une apothéose de feu d’artifice, ils surgissent en galopant, si nombreux et si rapides qu’ils remplissent le ciel en un rien de temps. Ils courent dans toutes les directions, se croisent, s’entremêlent en volutes de fumée. C’est un carrousel de rouges, de l’orangé teinté de jaune au grenat saturé de bleu. Ça tourne, c’est une roue qui tourne en cavalant dans le ciel pour accompagner sa musique. Le bruit de leur course risque d’enterrer la gigue, alors Josaphat redouble d’efforts, appuie sur son archet, promène encore plus rapidement ses doigts sur les cordes, il sautille presque sur place, il va giguer!
Des larmes lui sont montées aux yeux, son cœur va exploser et il crie à travers sa musique : « Si chus fou, ça vaut la peine d’être fou! »
Florence porte la main à son cœur.
« C’est leur façon de te remercier, Josaphat. Pour les cinquante ans qui viennent de s’écouler ». – Survivre! Survivre! P. 90

Having always shown an interest in the arts since a very young age, Nathalie Tanguay had drawing as her favorite activity and she has now been painting for 30 years. In order to perfect her art, she has followed numerous training courses and workshops on painting and drawing techniques, studies of live models and portraits. Nathalie has also dabbled in sculpture and screen printing on fabrics. With a bachelor's degree in art history, this course has greatly influenced her work, whether by studying the work of other artists or by adding subjects to her repertoire. Constantly evolving, the artist intends to continue her training in order to fuel her creation.
Specially fond of oil painting, Nathalie Tanguay develops her work on colors while paying attention to details. Having as a central point the theme of memory, his work mainly focuses on historical, literary and iconic subjects. She can invent her own compositions and rely on models if necessary, or sometimes take inspiration from photos to make them her own by incorporating characters in order to bring other atmospheres. Comprising a wide variety of subjects, his work particularly includes characters and architectural groups. Although she ensures that proportions and perspectives are generally respected, Nathalie does not seek realistic renderings. She has her own style and does not belong to any school. This is why we tend to describe her art as naive, which remains to be determined.
Her artist signature has long been NathaliTay. Considering it common to sign Nathalie T., she decided to keep the pronunciation so that her name could be associated with fertility related to the word “natality” because after all, her works are her children. For some time now, his signature has become Natan, a palindromic contraction of his first and last name.
