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.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest is a French artist born June 20, 1942 in Nice. He is known for his artistic interventions in public spaces, mainly using collage and painting. His committed and poetic work is part of a process of social and political protest, exploring themes such as memory, marginality and the human condition.

Since his beginnings in the 1960s, Ernest Pignon-Ernest has developed a unique artistic practice, combining urban art, photography and performance. He invests city walls, abandoned places and urban spaces to display his ephemeral works. His monumental collages, often made in black and white, blend harmoniously into the urban landscape, creating visual and poetic dialogues with their environment.

The artist attaches great importance to the social dimension of his work. His artistic interventions are often carried out in disadvantaged neighborhoods, places steeped in history or spaces on the margins of society. Through his works, he gives a voice to the excluded, the forgotten and the oppressed, provoking reflection and inviting the viewer to become aware of the social reality that surrounds him.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest has carried out numerous artistic interventions in France and abroad. Among his most notable achievements are the portraits of emblematic personalities, such as Rimbaud, Pasolini, Artaud or Mandela, which he scattered in the streets of different cities. These portraits, often accompanied by poetic texts, are committed artistic testimonies, highlighting figures of resistance, creativity and hope.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest's work has been widely recognized and exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world. His work has marked the history of urban art and contributed to changing perceptions of art in public space. Beyond his aesthetic dimension, he is also an artist who questions societal issues and invites the public to reflect on our relationship to space, collective memory and artistic commitment.
