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.

Lives in Cherbourg in Cotentin

Passionate about the visual arts, Frédéric JANSSENS is involved in modern and even avant-garde creations. A pictorial art full of imagination in front of which the visitor lets his creative imagination wander.
I draw all my research from the abstract. My research is exclusively oriented towards extremely nuanced color, I bring to my paintings a subtle transparency that captures the color. My mixed technique, declined in the tachist form, combines the brush and the knife. I work acrylic through pigments and fluidify my painting using inks and water by superimposing the colors and giving a dynamism, a modernity and a more contemporary style. I do not make any sketches beforehand on my canvas. A total freedom in emotions and gestures.
"Illusions", "Ambiances" and "Les Bleus" last series of paintings give me this freedom to approach the great themes that are the protection of our planet from the perspective of Nature.

Melting ice, fires, hurricanes, submersions, tsunamis but also all the phenomena of pollution and diseases that cause man little by little to destroy himself and his living space.
