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.

Rosine Coget is a contemporary French artist whose journey through art has been a profound exploration of femininity, existential questions, and the impermanence of life. Initially, she delved into the realm of femininity through a series of nude artworks, contemplating themes of self-discovery and authenticity. Transitioning from this, she began to shift her perspective, focusing on visions of the earth seen from the sky, emphasizing the importance of roots, childhood wounds, and the significance of embracing one's true self, particularly through representations of the inner child.

As her artistic journey evolved, Coget found herself grappling with existential inquiries surrounding death, freedom, loneliness, and the search for meaning. This led her to a profound connection with nature, recognizing the need to capture the fleeting essence of the world around her on paper. Her creations serve as an allegory of impermanence, prompting viewers to reflect on the age of time and the ever-changing nature of existence.

However, it was at the age of 40 that Coget experienced a transformative artistic revelation through the discovery of the cyanotype technique. This ancient method of developing images on iron s using light compelled her to reconnect with nature and the elements, emphasizing the importance of patience and mindfulness. Incorporating dried flowers into her photograms further solidified her bond with the natural world, as she allowed the elements and sunlight to shape her creations without the intervention of modern machinery.

For Coget, perception is deeply intertwined with personal history, and her photographs serve as invitations for viewers to delve into their own memories and perceptions. Through her portraits, she challenges observers to look beyond surface appearances, encouraging them to contemplate the complexities hidden within each image.

In essence, Rosine Coget's artistic journey embodies a multifaceted exploration of life, impermanence, and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. Through her work, she seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of existence and provoke introspection in those who engage with her art.
