Original Artwork Drawing, Charcoal on Paper

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.

France

Kimberly Aring is a contemporary American artist who has been living in France since 2012. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Studio Art and Art History from the University of South Carolina at Aiken and a Master's degree from Lander University. She has also pursued additional fine arts studies at Furman University and the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Since 1996, Kimberly has exhibited her work in numerous galleries and public spaces across the United States, France, and the Netherlands. Her art is part of private collections in countries such as the United States, France, Germany, Russia, and Brazil. She further developed her artistic vision through extensive travel to Italy, France, Greece, Germany, and other European countries. In 2006, she participated in a five-week international professional exchange program as an artist in residence organized by the Rotary of Normandy, France.

Primarily a figurative artist, Kimberly Aring focuses on capturing her subjects in everyday settings, meticulously portraying moments filled with emotion. Light and color are central to her work, bringing form and creating emotional depth. Her style resonates with the American scene painters of the 20th century, such as Grant Wood and Charles Sheeler, while also echoing the light and mood exploration of Edward Hopper, though with a more dynamic and contemporary approach.

Kimberly's art invites viewers into a world of vibrant colors, blending moments of melancholy with lively energy. She continues to be recognized for her ability to evoke mood and mystery through her sensitive, light-filled compositions.
