Original Artwork Painting, Watercolor on Paper

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.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

France

André Méhu, a contemporary French painter, has embarked on a remarkable artistic journey characterized by a profound exploration of watercolors as a medium of expression.[...]

André Méhu, a contemporary French painter, has embarked on a remarkable artistic journey characterized by a profound exploration of watercolors as a medium of expression. His path was illuminated during a transformative moment in 2009 when he participated in a watercolor workshop hosted by the renowned Spanish artist Dolores Bolanos. This encounter became the catalyst for André's artistic awakening.

Under the tutelage of Spanish master Josep Martinez Lozano and guided by Dolores Bolanos's cheerful and generous approach, André discovered a newfound self-confidence in his ability to "play with water and pigments," as Dolores often encouraged. This pivotal realization marked a turning point in his artistic career, distinguishing between merely painting "with" watercolors and creating a true watercolor masterpiece.

André Méhu's oeuvre is predominantly rooted in realism, yet it has evolved to encompass a broader spectrum of artistic expression. His repertoire now includes captivating works in gouache and abstract pastels, showcasing his versatility and willingness to explore new artistic horizons.

Since 2010, André has graced numerous art shows across France, where his work has captivated audiences and garnered recognition. It was in this year that he earned his first awards, including the prestigious Prix de la Ville de Quéven in 2010, followed by the Prix de la Société des Aquarellistes de Bretagne in 2011, and many more, including the Prix de la Ville de Lorient in 2014 and the Premier Prix de la Ville de Montgermont in 2015. These accolades underscore his artistic excellence and dedication to his craft.

In addition to his accomplishments in the art world, André Méhu has cultivated meaningful collaborations with organizations such as the Red Cross and specialized art publications, including Pratique des Arts, Plaisir de Peindre, Dessin et Peinture, L’art de l’Aquarelle, and The Art of Watercolor.

André's artistic creations have found homes in private collections both within France and abroad, a testament to the universal appeal of his work. His art aims to unveil the aesthetic and poetic essence of water, emphasizing that water is more than just a solvent; it is a vital means of artistic expression, akin to lines, shapes, and colors.

Through André Méhu's brush, watercolor transcends its physical form to become a medium that evokes emotions, captures beauty, and weaves poetry into the canvas. His dedication to the art of watercolors continues to inspire, inviting viewers to join him on a journey where water becomes a muse and a conduit for the soul's deepest expressions.
