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.

Fleur de cochon ... notre humanité a perdu la tête ; décapitée, vue de loin, on imagine qu'une fleur s'y implante...
La fleur représente la notion d'un meilleur, du beau ... mais quand en y regarde de plus près, cette fleur ressemble fort à une tête de cochon, avec le faciès rouge violacé de l'ivrogne ...
Pour terminer, ce cochon est borgne et il lui manque une oreille ... la perte d'équilibre est garantie.
Derrière la fleur de cochon, à la tête de cette oeuvre, se cache un sexe béant ... exprimant la possible jouissance ressentie par cette créature dirigeant la nouvelle structure ... ayant perdu son sens ...
Cette oeuvre représente les forces obscures, celles qui guident ces hommes et ces femmes, ces démagogues prodiguant des solutions simplistes, celles qui prônent le rejet des autres.
Il n'y a qu'un monde, qu'une humanité.
Les gens à la manoeuvre, vu d'abord comme des fleurs par leurs partisans, pourraient aussi être ces cochons n'ayant pour but que des intérêts privés, de pouvoirs, dénués de la bienveillance attendue par la collectivité.
Le produit de la vente de cette oeuvre sera versé en faveur des associations qui militent pour les droits de l'Homme.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.

Paul Yves Poumay

Belgium

Paul Yves Poumay is a professional painter and photographer. He considers himself a contemporary primitive artist. Free provocative, skinned alive and yet incredibly optimistic, the work of Paul Yves Poumay has many intentions but it is mainly directed towards others. Qualified as a utopian, he expresses his indignation, linked to the corrosive power of money, by imposing his status as the most expensive contemporary artist in the world. He translates his questions through an offbeat expressionism, moving from very colorful to darker. He is an instinctive autodidact who, through art and the absurd, challenges the world of finance and calls into question the foundations of our organizations. It provokes reactions by denouncing in particular the societal aberrations that we are witnessing.

Paul Yves Poumay is the creator of the sculpture "The return of Don Quixote", estimated at more than two billion euros which will be donated to basic research within the ASBL AWI.

Paul Yves Poumay was born on June 15, 1969 in Verviers, Belgium. He lives and works in Spa (Belgium). He is represented by the gallery by The carlos reid gallery in Atlanta (USA) and Art nou milleni gallery in Barcelona (Spain)
