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.

Introducing "Predatory Desires: Blood Sucker" – An Artistic Confrontation of Selfish Exploitation. This striking artwork presents a vivid depiction of a blood-sucking lamprey fish, its mouth and teeth resembling a leech, poised to feed on its unsuspecting host. This visual metaphor encapsulates a certain type of individual – the exploiter, the user, the one who thrives on the gains of others without ethical consideration.
"Blood Sucker" delves into the unsettling realm of self-serving manipulation, capturing the essence of those who exploit relationships, resources, and situations solely for personal advantage. The stark portrayal of the predatory lamprey draws a parallel to the behaviours and attitudes of those who feed off the efforts and goodwill of others, leaving a trail of disregard and discontent in their wake.
Through this artwork, the artist presents a thought-provoking contemplation of ethical boundaries and the impact of exploitation. The blood-sucking lamprey becomes a symbol of the inherent harm in such behaviours, serving as a visual reminder of the consequences of unchecked self-interest.
This piece resonates with those who understand the complexity of human interactions and the importance of ethical conduct. "Blood Sucker" challenges viewers to reflect on their own interactions and the implications of their actions, inviting a dialogue about the nature of exploitation and its far-reaching effects.
Embrace the narrative of ethical introspection and accountability – make this artwork a compelling addition to your collection, a stark yet essential reminder of the boundaries we must uphold to maintain a fair and just society. "Blood Sucker" invites us to confront the darker aspects of human behaviour and strive for a more considerate and compassionate world.
