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.

Thierry Chavenon, a contemporary French artist known for both his prowess as a painter and his contributions to the realm of film production design, embarked on his creative journey after graduating from the École supérieure des arts moderne (ESAM). Beginning his career as a decorator, Thierry's talent caught the attention of renowned filmmaker Luc Besson, leading to an internship on the set of the film "Nikita."

Subsequently, Thierry's artistic vision found expression in prestigious film projects, where he lent his expertise as a production designer to films such as "On the Other Side of the Ring Road" by David Charhon and "En Solitaire" by Christophe Offenstein.

Despite his success in the world of cinema, Thierry's creative drive propelled him towards painting, where he found a medium to express himself beyond the confines of the silver screen. His paintings bear witness to familial artistic influences and reflect his experiences as a production designer. Whether in painting or cinema, Thierry Chavenon manipulates light, form, and movement to craft dynamic compositions.

"I like lit material, and even if they are rapid movements, I like that we perceive a powerful trail, something not asleep, perspectives, point of light, things that fade, erased over time, so quickly that there is a dynamism…" explains the artist.

Thierry's artistic universe manifests in black and white works characterized by gestural strokes reminiscent of action painting. Through subtlety and suggestion, Thierry's paintings provoke anticipation and evoke mystery, inviting viewers to explore the nuances of his dynamic and captivating compositions.
