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.

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (Hebrew name: Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and curriculum vitae

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?

Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.

Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?

Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.

A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.

Question: Raphael Perez, what characterizes your naive painting?

Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics

(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)

• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.

• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.

• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.

• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.

• Warm and bright colors.

• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.

• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume

• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions

• No interest in anatomy.

• There is not much use of light and shade, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.

I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings

Question: Raphael Perez, why do you choose the city of Tel Aviv?

Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,

I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one

Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.

Question: Raphael Perez, are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem?

Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism today

In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs

Question: Raphael Perez, tell me about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your drawings of cities

Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:

In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,

In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more

I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed

In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

===========================

Raphael Perez: Kent Manzaralarının Saf Bir Ressamı

Raphael Perez, kentsel manzaraların naif resimlerinde uzmanlaşmış İsrailli bir sanatçıdır. Eserleri, Tel Aviv, Kudüs, Paris ve New York gibi sevdiği şehirleri renkli ve tuhaf bir şekilde tasvir ediyor. Sokakların geniş ve temiz, ağaçların ve çiçeklerin bol olduğu ve insanların mutlu ve çeşitli olduğu idealize edilmiş bir gerçeklik vizyonu yaratır.

Naif sanat, perspektif, orantı veya gerçekçilik kurallarına uymayan bir resim stilini tanımlayan bir terimdir. Naif sanatçılar, basit şekiller, parlak renkler ve etkileyici ayrıntılar kullanarak hayal güçlerinden resim yaparlar. Genellikle günlük yaşamlarından, anılarından veya rüyalarından sahneleri canlandırırlar.

Perez'in naif tarzı, perspektif eksikliği, formların basitleştirilmiş bir temsili ve canlı renk kullanımı ile karakterize edilir. Doku ve kontrast oluşturmak için fırçalar kullanarak büyük tuvaller üzerine akrilik boyalar yapıyor. Önündeki sahneyi gözlemleyen ve yakalayan bir ressam olarak resimlerine sıklıkla yer verir. Ayrıca bir neşe ve uyum duygusu iletmek için uçurtma, balon, bayrak, çift, aile ve hayvan gibi motifleri birleştirir.

Perez'in resimleri, kişisel hayatından ve deneyimlerinden etkilenir. 1965 yılında Kudüs'te dindar bir ailenin çocuğu olarak dünyaya geldi. Görsel sanatlar okulunda Beer Sheva'da sanat okudu, Kudüs'te doğdu ve daha sonra Tel Aviv'e taşındı.

Yirmili yaşlarında eşcinsel olarak çıktı ve LGBT topluluğunun aktif bir üyesi oldu. Partneriyle 1993 yılında tanıştı ve o zamandan beri birlikteler. Perez'in resimleri, eşcinsel bir erkek olarak kimliğini ve partnerine olan sevgisini kutluyor. Ayrıca dünyanın en eşcinsel dostu şehirlerinden biri olarak bilinen Tel Aviv'in çeşitliliğini ve hoşgörüsünü tasvir ediyor.

Perez'in resimleri İsrail'de ve yurtdışında sergilendi ve hem eleştirmenlerden hem de izleyicilerden olumlu eleştiriler aldı. Çalışmaları, kent yaşamına farklı bir bakış açısı sunduğu için özgün ve canlandırıcı olarak değerlendiriliyor. Resimlerinin gerçekçi veya doğru olması değil, nostalji, fantezi ve iyimserlik duygusu uyandırması amaçlanıyor. Perez, izleyicileri şehirlerin güzelliğini keşfetme ve tadını çıkarma yolculuğunda kendisine katılmaya davet ediyor.

Family biography Raphael Perez father, Shimon Perez, worked as a receptionist at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. His great love was art, but as a breadwinner, he could not fulfill his dream of becoming an artist. Raphael’s mother, Alice Aliza Perez, worked as an assistant to a kindergarten teacher and later took care of a baby at home. She loved gardening and nature, and together with her husband, created a magnificent garden.

Raphael has several siblings. His elder brother David Perez repented in his mid-twenties and brought many people back to repentance. His sister Hana Peretz raised eight children and worked in the field of education. His brother Avi (Abraham) Peretz studied Philosophy and Judaism in Israel before moving to the United States where he completed his master’s degree in education and became a conservative rabbi. His fourth brother is Asher Peretz, who is very fond of traveling and has been to magical places all over the world. Raphael is the fifth sibling and has a twin brother named Miki (Michael) Peretz, who is a talented industrial designer. The youngest sibling is Shlomit Peretz, who has been involved in the Bezeq telephone company for almost three decades.

Peretz). In the IDF, he served in the Artillery Corps. He worked for 15 years in education in therapeutic settings for children and taught art and movement.
Peretz is a graduate of the Center for Visual Arts in Be'er Sheva, where he studied from 1989-1992. He has been painting since 1989 and since 1999 earns a living only from selling art. Since 1995 he has lived and worked from his studio in Tel Aviv.
Between the ages of 17 and 32, he wrote about forty diaries, sketchbooks and artist books in which he wrote daily and described his thoughts, experiences and feelings and his struggle with his homosexual sexual orientations. He later adorned the diaries with illustrations and drawings. The diaries were presented in a solo exhibition at Camera Obscura and in a group exhibition at the Sommer Gallery.
In his work, starting in 1995, he dealt with relationships, initially with relationships between men and women, in which complex relationships between men and women can be seen. In addition to explicit paintings, he created series of flower paintings, as a metaphor for the relationship between a man and a woman.
At the age of 32 he came out of the closet and began to draw relationships between men. At first, the paintings express hesitation and imperfection, while Peretz does not reveal the faces of the cartoonists. After his first love for a man in 1999 and coming to terms with his sexual orientation, the paintings became peaceful and he presented the homosexual relationship in an ideal way. Peretz has created a series of naive paintings that deal with loving relationships between men and common daily activities in the home environment. Over the years he painted his mates.
