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.

Aujourd’hui la mise en scène personnelle est obligatoire, et pour cela les smartphones ont inventé le selfie.
On n’a jamais autant figé son image tout en la changeant en permanence. Pourtant ces miroirs narcissiques
sont fugaces, on ne peut pas les retenir. Ils disparaissent dans nos flux numériques.

Ce paradoxe amusant a motivé mon travail sur les nouveaux codes du portrait et de l’image de soi,
en appliquant les méthodes de la peinture classique pour retrouver plus de pérennité et moins de fugacité.
Comme mes précédents travaux, à partir de multi couches successives d’huile délayées à la l’essence
de térébenthine, je monte les grains de la peau jusqu’au résultat escompté. Beaucoup de couches,
peu de pigments et un long temps de séchage.
Je réalise moi-même un cadre en bois peint, en m’inspirant du design des smartphones du moment. Sur commande ou par inspiration personnelle, je demande à mes modèles de cadrer leur visage avec leurs mains pour enrichir la composition picturale. Les mains protègent la personne qui pose... et dévoilent sa personnalité picturale.

A l’heure des filtres et des logiciels de retouche photo, je veux présenter un regard naturel qui montre fièrement
ses aspérités... aux antipodes du paraître social.

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.
