Duality Call for Artists Accepted Entries Artist Shelby Suzanne Corbett Savannah, Georgia, USA Thumbnail #1 Acrylic Painting Artist Statement Today, more often than not, we view paintings on a computer screen, rather than in person. It is often the case that the digital image lacks the awe-inspiring finesse that oozes from a beautiful painting that you are standing in front of. However, this digitalization of the art world is inescapable and is, in fact, an amazing resource that I am thoroughly grateful for and use every day. To evolve, we must combine and find harmony between the old and the new. My painting, Thumbnail #1,Read More →

Duality Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Mary Kay Stam Orange, California, USA Myopic 1: Cloud Oil Painting Artist Statement I was going for ambiguity. It could just be a sexually explicit cloud formation. But it isn’t. It’s a nuclear blast seen from a closer perspective than we’re used to. The brush strokes reference the engraving of postage stamps and money, albeit, blurrier than we’re used to. This cloud is definitely man made. The distractions of every day life, sexually explicit media, or just plain media – the barrage of it – we have to retreat at some point. Yet we are not powerless toRead More →

Duality Call for Artists Accepted Entries Artist Mary Kay Stam Orange, California , USA Divide Mixed Media Artist Statement Seventh in the Propaganda series, this painting marks the breaking down of evidence of the holocaust. The series started out representational. On one side, wax, representing human skin, on the other, dirt, as if soaked by blood, divided by a metallic stripe. Like the physical evidence of the holocaust – hair, shoes, teeth – this series breaks down, with elements such as wax and translucent veils, as vulnerable as human skin.     The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily representRead More →

Duality Call for Artists Accepted Entries Artist Eileen Standley Tempe Arizona USA The Gesture of Imagination See the video installation HERE.   Artist Statement Influenced by my background in dance-making and fascination with movement my work crosses disciplines of choreography video installation and performance art. I often explore a threshold moment before gesture manifests itself in the material world; a temporal geography ripe for engaging the imagination of both the audience and performer. I am fascinated with intimacy & distance. This single channel video The Gesture of Imagination was generated with a spoken word artist and dancers. It was prompted by questions and an attraction to liminalRead More →

Since 2011, I have been creating a small painting for each day using a complex color that has been made by mixing a simple set of primary pigments and white. The practice is an attempt to translate and capture the day’s experiences, activities, and moods with a single color. These works are then assembled into a large installation that chronicles the past year. With varying annual rules andRead More →

Duality Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Brendon Mcnaughton Toronto, Canada No. 25 Acrylic Painting Artist Statement While studying Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square (1913), I came to this realization, there was a visual disconnect between what the painting was communicating to me as a viewer, and what the literature was communicating to me as truth. Part of my motivation for this piece was to create a direct commentary on this downfall in conceptual art. The holes seen on the bottom left and top right panels were made by multiple shotgun rounds. Being able to create a strong visual aesthetic with a full range of valuesRead More →

Duality Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Nikki Nye Atlanta, Georgia, USA Wolf in Sheep Wall Sculpture Artist Statement Light and shadow – the original contrast. Through the use of precise cuts and minute scores of paper, true casts of highlight and shading can be achieved without ever lifting a paintbrush. Layers of white flood from the center out, but each union is joined by intervening shadows that force their way in upon every change of plane. And the black cannot wear a cloak of white so closely without being touched by rays of it’s brightness. These opposites can relate only through contrast. The sinisterRead More →

I moved to a table, and a waitress asked me not to take it because I was by myself. The first set was over and I took off. The crossing of Decatur, Peters and ContiRead More →

Through my work I feel connected to a community of art makers; from ancient cultures to my contemporary counterparts. My compulsion to create pushes me across mediums and materials while challenging me to examine the boundaries set by my own aesthetic concerns.
