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.

La falaise Dogon : tout un univers hors du temps et semblant coupé du reste du monde, un cristal de l’imaginaire accroché à l’un des sites les plus émouvants de la planète. Au pied de la falaise, ce sont les éboulis qui s’animent soudain des multiples greniers mâles ou femelles, cylindriques ou vaguement tronconiques, et les blocs erratiques semblent se métamorphoser en colonies de champignons magiques couronnés chacun d’un petit chapeau pointu. Bien sûr dans ce cristal se cache aussi la pauvreté et le désarroi économique qui étreignent l’ensemble du continent africain. Il n’empêche, une mystérieuse magie ancestrale, une résistance obstinée contre l’érosion des rites animistes, une nonchalance attentive aux cycles naturels, font que ce pays garde force, cohérence, et sérénité.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

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.
