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.

Biography :

Basto was one of a pioneer of graffiti scene in Marseille, the first to paint three metro stations in 1991, with his crew RTM (Réseau des Tagueurs Marseillais).

Born in 1973 in Marseille, live and works between Geneva and Paris, France. Basto was struck by the innumerable graffitis spread all over the streets of Paris in 1989. A year after, his name could be seen on various walls, metros, buses or delivery trucks in his hometown. (i.e la France d’en bas le Graffiti dans le sud, Alternatives Editions 2004).

Before turning 20, Basto was selected to participate in the BJCM (Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs de la Méditerranée) in Valencia, Spain, for which he realised a monumental fresco on one the exhibition’s pavilions facing the sea.

His Mediterranean origins inspire his colorful compositions mixing warm and primary colours, essentially blue, yelow, and red.
Since the mid-90’s, he slowly abandoned the street to focus on canvas, a medium he believed would help Street Art to get recognized in closed art circles.

All his prints are certified by EPSON Digigraphy® and edited in limited numbers.

A privileged witness of the birth and development of Urban Art in Marseille, ‘Basto is currently exhibiting at MuCEM, that should make some noise’.
