Artist Light & Dark Open Art Calls Accepted Artists   Artist David Nackashi Jacksonville, Florida, USA Water 1 Caustic Solarization Artist Statement I work in a process I created. I call it caustic solarization because it is simply black duck cloth faded by the sun.

The following images were accepted for the juried online art exhibition, Light and Dark. This exhibition is one of the themes that will be reviewed again for a live exhibition in the upcoming months. For this exhibition, we looked for artwork that interprets these contrasting elements.  The use of light and shadow are what art really is. It’s also historically been a struggle between good and evil, between honesty and deception, between what seems apparent and what really is. To view the accepted artists list, please scroll down.

I enjoy photographing macabre scenes like cemeteries or nature in decay, such as swamps. For this image, I was walking alone on a back country road in Cairo, Georgia when I ran across this stunning swamp. There were no audible sounds.

She was a bit of a plant collector and no matter the season, there was always something to surprise. On this visit, the foliage got my attention rather than the flower. The image shows almost every color of the rainbow, but in muted, autumn tones. The forms and lines in the base photograph caught my attention and I had to play. I work in the realm of the computer.

The slow meditational space created through the painting process allows me to find another world between the abstract and super-real. I layer ink in different tones and then go in to add intricate details with a small brush using acrylic, gouache, and mineral pigments.

Art Collecting Nature Speaks Call for Entries Accepted Artists   Artist John Sollinger Ashland, Oregon, USA Old Growth Glass Artist Statement This work represents my impression of an organic scene. A muse inspired me to depict often ignored life forms, and a devil demanded chaos and abstraction to challenge the viewers’ perceptions. For many, the phrase “old growth” conjures images of ancient and huge trees. However, a large variety of unrecognized or otherwise ignored life forms compose the forest community. Inspiration came from my chance encounter with the base of a large Western Red cedar tree, adorned with lichens and moss. The views expressed byRead More →

Many times we are not conscious of our fears and inherited beliefs. My current work meditates the letting go of fear and of attachments that hold us back from ultimately finding love.

Birds have been a recent indulgence of mine. I am fascinated by how these creatures suspend themselves. I am attracted to the capturing of a moment when you do not know if they are landing or taking off.
