ENTER THE “A MOMENT OF REFLECTION” SHOW
Dates: Thursday, February 11 to Friday, March 19, 2021
ONLINE SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
DESCRIPTION
When one looks at art one can become deeply immersed into works that engender contemplation. The artist captures a deep moment of reflection or meditative state. It isn’t about a knowing or concept but a feeling of now, of just this – a moment to reflect on. It is contemplative, not confrontational. Its impact is residual. What do you create in those moments of reflection?
Examples for inspiration: Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko and Arshile Gorky.
Abstract art is encouraged.
