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.

La statue de la Liberté est l'un des monuments les plus célèbres de New York, aux États-Unis. Son caractère universel d'allégorie de la liberté lui a conféré une notoriété à l'échelle mondiale. Pour cette raison, de très nombreuses répliques du monument, de taille plus ou moins importante, ont été érigées depuis son inauguration en 1886. Une réduction en bronze de la statue de la Liberté de Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi fondue en 1889 a été achetée par l'État français en 1900 pour le musée du Luxembourg où elle est exposée quelques années. Elle est installée dans le jardin en 1906. Aquarelle réalisée sur la base d'une photo personnelle.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

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.

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.

Michel Guillet

France

Michel Guillet, versatile artist, has been a figurative pastellist since January 2010. He is an active member of the “Pastel en Dauphiné” association. His artistic passion leads him to explore a multitude of varied motifs without being confined to a specific theme. Whether portraits, landscapes, still lifes or reproductions of works of art, Michel Guillet likes to capture the diversity of the world around him through his pastels.

What particularly sets Michel apart is his commitment to sharing his art with the public. During exhibitions, he engages in live demonstrations, offering visitors an insight into his creative process. He enjoys interacting with “admirers” of his work, informing them about his techniques and sometimes inviting them to actively participate in his demonstrations.

Michel Guillet is self-taught, but he prefers to consider that each of us has artistic talents that are just waiting to be revealed. He believes in everyone's ability to explore their creativity and let their talents flourish with a little practice and support.

Since his retirement in Aix-les-Bains at the beginning of 2012, Michel Guillet has enjoyed the time necessary to discover the splendors of the Alps and devote himself fully to his two passions: pastels and photography, where he excels as a 'amateur. His art reflects his love for the diversity of the world and his desire to share his creativity with the public.
