Duality: The Art of Contrast
Applications open: April 8 - May 13, selections announced May 27
Duality is an inherent aspect of existence, manifesting in various forms such as light and dark, joy and sorrow, chaos and order, nature and technology, and the interplay of opposites. This theme challenges artists to delve into the tension and balance between two opposing forces, the coexistence of contradictory elements, or the seamless fusion of two different aspects into a cohesive whole.
Text: The Art of Language
Text: The Art of Language
The Pearl Ellis Gallery invites artists to submit works for our upcoming exhibition centered on the theme of Text. This show challenges artists to explore the powerful role that text plays in communication, expression, and the creation of meaning within the visual arts.
About the Theme:
Text, in its myriad forms, serves as a bridge between the visual and the verbal. It can be a tool for storytelling, a means of conveying ideas, or a graphic element that adds layers of meaning to an artwork. In this exhibition, we encourage artists to experiment with the ways in which text can be integrated into visual art, whether as a primary focus or as a subtle, underlying presence.
Applications open: July 1 - Aug 5
