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.

Pierre-Louis TORRES
Painter

He was born in Morocco in 1948. His father, of Spanish origin, is a portrait photographer and amateur painter. After high school, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Rabat. He then went to Paris to take courses at the Met Graphic Arts School of Penninghen and J. D'Andon at 31, rue du Dragon (66-67). Worked for 4 years in an architecture agency in the South-West, which he left to teach art and established his studio in Burgundy from 1971 to 1992 where he produced several exhibitions in Auxerre (Maison du Tourisme, Galerie de L'Yonne Républicaine , Galerie du Temple) and in Noyers/Serein. During this period, he met and maintained an ongoing epistolary relationship with the painter Roger Chapelain-Midy.
In 1992 he left the metropolis for French Polynesia where he actively participated in the revival of the art of tattooing in Raiatea and Tahiti. During his stay, he exhibited permanently at the Galerie des Tropiques in Papeete.

In 1993, explorer and ethnologist Paul-Emile Victor asked him to teach drawing to young Polynesians in Bora-Bora.
On his return from Polynesia in 1998, he taught in the Côtes d'Armor (Saint-Brieuc) until 2010 then settled on the pink granite coast in Trébeurden (Côtes d'Armor) where he built a large house- workshop-cabinet of curiosities.
He currently works and resides there.
