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.

This is a drawing of the Oxford drug scene of the seventies. It captures some of the cammeradery of young drug users who did not see themselves as addicts, but clearly were. As an artist they became used to me and accepted my peculiarities of not smoking or drug taking. I class it as unsafe because I fear that in drawing it, some may see me as romanticising it or dramatising it. I personally don't condone it but merely draw it. These are all sketches/images of memories of the street life of Oxford. The beggars don't like to be photographed. If you so much as look at them, they will see you as a soft touch and you will have trouble getting rid of them. Consequently I learnt to look and shut my eyes fixing the image of them in my mind. I would then stop in a shop doorway and sketch the memory. The beggars and unemployed drunks held a lot of interest for me because their constant level of intoxication took off the most superficial level of inhibition which stultifies the average Englishman. The result is that we are using so much energy to stay in control that we forget to live in the moment. If you would like it I will redraw it as a pristine original. If you want more than one I offer them 15 dollars each instead of 20, postage included.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Mexico

I am an English paintier living in Mexico. At times it can seem to be a very crazy culture, but this makes it particularly exhilarating for me. Whilst in England everything happens behind closed doors, here it is much more on the street. It is a living culture with street parades, festivals, religious pilgrimages and street theatre. Queretaro is particularly rich in theatres and party places for children. Mexico is a melting pot of peoples including Spanish, Indigenous Indian Toltec and European/Americans (USA). We are at the meeting point of all the Americas. Drugs going north, guns coming south, illegal imigrants going north and United States industry moving south. Corruption, kidnapping, extortion and narco-gang-wars are rife. The costumes are colourful, the women are very womanly and sexy and the people fun-loving. There is much poverty, especially in the indiginous Indians who form the majority of the street sellers. Despite the corrupt laws, police and Caltholic church, the people can always smile with broad smiles and laugh at advercity. Every birthday is taken as an excuse for a party/fiesta. For me it is a painter's paradise. I am just surprized that it is relatively undiscovered and not more of a tourist attraction to Europeans.
