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.

Christophe Vacher is a contemporary French artist. Since 1989, he has been involved in providing backgrounds and visual development for the Animation industry and Walt Disney Pictures. His artistic contributions encompassed painting backgrounds and conceptual artwork for renowned animated films including "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Runaway Brain," "Hercules," "Tarzan," "Fantasia 2000," "Dinosaur," and "Treasure Planet." In February 2002, he left the Disney studios to dedicate himself fully to creating personal artworks for galleries.

Vacher's visual style draws inspiration from esteemed art movements such as the Hudson River School, the Romantics, and the European Symbolists, known for their grandiose and theatrical landscapes. Additionally, he incorporates influences from contemporary artists like Sandorfi, Beksinski, Ugarte, and the Visionaries (Les Visionnaires) in France. He characterizes his painting process as an unending quest for capturing the utmost splendor, spirituality, and improbable visions.
