Certificate of Authenticity included
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 artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles
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.
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.

Art On The Green founder Richard Mangold trained at Kingston and Reading Colleges of Art.
Current projects include his Plage Collection, the study of horizons where sea meets sky.
Recently I have been occupied with what I call The Mangold Polytope. It’s the merger of three shapes within a five sided shape. The Polytope lends itself aesthetically, and technically near perfect.
For the viewer; intuitive notions of shape, inspiring cognitive ability, development of spatial awareness, hand to eye Co ordination, mechanical reasoning, perspective; thought processing.
To be used in education, helping a developing mind, the process of reasoning; learning through attachment to The Mangold Polytope, ie. Colour, primary’s and the mixing of secondary colours.
Cognative, lending itself relative to the shape it represents as The Polytope rotates, it seemingly changes from Square to Circle ⭕️ and then to Triangle.
This understood, The Mangold Polytope via means of rotation, The Polytope forms all three shapes; affectively merged. Both sophisticated and complex in form, but simple and understandable in design.

The Coral Reef Project
The Coral Reef Project is a mixed media exhibition with a unique sculptural installation that demonstrates the fragility of coral and its ecosystem. This exhibition, curated by Tekla Zweir, Chair of the Art Department at the Williams School in New London, CT, includes research into various species of coral. Included in the exhibition are studies of coral in oil on canvas, 50 individual coral sculptures in an installation to demonstrate a living coral reef, and plaster relief sculptures to represent bleached coral. The juxtaposition of the different sculptures will show the fragility of the reef. Also included are experimental encaustic paintings that utilize Tekla’s underwater photographs of a coral reef that evoke a sense of looking through the water into various reefs. An actual aquarium with living coral from the Cradabel Coral Lab in New London will be showcased in the gallery as well.
The main objectives of this exhibition are to show the diversity of coral species; demonstrate the fragility of the coral reef; educate the public about coral and its habitat, show the connection of science to art; explain the importance of research in the artistic process; utilize art for environmental awareness; and inspire students to create art that fosters critical thinking.
Tekla has studied coral at the Mystic Aquarium, the Boston Museum of Science, and the Key West Aquarium, and has also visited three coral reefs at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Florida. Her research there included taking photographs, making notes, sketching, and learning about different coral species.
