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.

Its always tea time II, 40x26 inches, gouache and mixed media on archival paper, 2018

Here, Alice does not just represent herself, but also the ' existential void' that we as human beings often feel- a sense of emptiness and confusion about our place in this universe.
This scene in the movie also effectively displays Alice and all the characters being stuck in a time loop where things keep repeating themselves. Hence this piece is also about Einstein's theory of relativity where the past, present and future exist simultaneously; a concept that I cannot necessarily explain well but fully believe in. Hence, can we really believe in the notion of time as linear? On a broader level, what is the meaning of it all?
The rose lends a similar meaning of transience and beauty to the scene. Life is transient and so are moments of beauty and fragility. It's all a series or a loop of recurring events, emotions and experiences till we pass on to the next realm.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

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.
