Original Artwork Painting, Oil

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.

About this piece: These freshly-autoanimated Moai are celebrating their pioneering achievement. They have finally autoanimated themselves after painstakingly chiseling their heads down from 15 tons to a more manageable 200-300 pounds. Up until this point in history, many scientists believed stone statues were incapable of learning, problem solving, manufacturing, and dancing. Don’t let their somber expressions fool you; these Moai are probably quite happy. Of course, they are kind of locked into their original carved-in-stone expressions, unless they want to break out the hammer and chisel every time their mood changes. This would cause gradual cephalic shrinkage, which is undesirable and inevitably fatal at some point. They have learned well from their traveling relic teacher. However, it appears they have more to learn about sewing. Perhaps they should stop dancing long enough to repair themselves before more seams burst.

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.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

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.
