Shadows Artist Brian Cho | Lilburn

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Brian Cho La Canada, California, USA Lilburn Mixed Media Artist Statement Lilburn:50″ x 50″Wood, Acrylic Paint, Acrylic SheetBased on Lilburn Cave, Sequoia National Park (Cross Section / Overhead view) Not For Sale As I walked through the caves of Sequoia National Park, I was stunned by the beauty hidden in the darkness for eons. Some brave explorer entered this abyss, overcame the dangers, and allowed me to see something I will never forget. Why? What possesses a person to enter a cave, climb a mountain, dive deep into the ocean, or shoot into the unknown vacuum of space?Read More →

Shadows Artist Olivier Tourlet | Shadow (4)

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Olivier Tourlet Paris, France Shadow (4) Fine Art Photography Artist Statement What would be a world without shadow? Just a flat blank page. Shadow is the essence of photography, forging the eye with relief and material. Shadow is rhythm , creating matter in infinite shades . It is the “symphony” of perception.Drop shadow by its application to oblique subject is often neglected by the eye, most of the time jilted in the background. I like to give back to shadow his nobility, his mild stroke projecting an image of the subject often mysterious and always sublime. Biography BornRead More →

Shadows Artist Jean Liu | Fire Escape And Its Shadow No3

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Jean Liu New York, New York, USA Fire Escape and its Shadow No3 Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Jean Liu is an architect who lives and works in New York. In her work, she draws inspiration from Time and Process. She believes that Time is not just a linear experience and Process is something that can be perceived in an instance. She strives to achieve both of those qualities in her work in architecture and art. She is also an avid photographer. She uses photography to examine the nuances of coincidence, order, disorder and moments of everyday life.Read More →

Shadows Artist Ulrike Scheuchl | Shades Of Grey

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Ulrike Scheuchl Laguna Beach, California, USA Shades of Grey Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Following a move from Europe to California in 2009, I devoted myself more to my passions: photography and art. My artworks go beyond capturing light through a lens. I combine photography and digital media to influence the meaning the artwork carries to the viewer. The picture of the Golden Gate Bridge was taken in the morning from a position that favors the shadow of the bridge. Colors fade into “Shades of Grey.”Read More →

Shadows Artist Teresa Young | Undersea Fantasy

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Teresa Young Hubbards, Canada Undersea Fantasy Acrylic Painting Artist Statement Years ago, I was quite fond of scuba diving in the northern Pacific Ocean, exploring near the smaller islands around the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The undersea plant life in that cool water is quite different from the bright and colourful areas found in the far southern seas. Since the ocean is so much colder, the colours are muted, and shadows predominate. The diver experiences a subtle, yet dangerous atmosphere, which makes for an enticing and mysterious experience. In this abstract acrylic artwork, a mass of darkRead More →

Shadows Artist Tatiana Potts | Spiral Experience

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Tatiana Potts Asheville, North Carolina, USA Spiral Experience Printmaking Artist Statement Intaglio and Lithograph “Spiral Experience” by Tatiana Potts is a combination of four images; a spiral staircase inside the Lighthouse in Hunting Island, SC, a ceiling in High Museum in Atlanta and the shadows from our trip back to my home in Slovakia. They are viewed from different angles in order to create an illusion of imaginary three-dimensional spaces. Through the inclusion of the architectural details, in my mind, I can revisit the places that I experienced and develop a sense of place that is personal, butRead More →

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Tatiana Potts Asheville, North Carolina, USA Above and Below Printmaking Artist Statement Lithograph “Above and Below” by Tatiana Potts is constructed by combining three images; an arched hall from a train station in Prague turned upside down, roof tops of Prague and the shadows captured when on family gathering in Slovakia. They are viewed from different angles in order to create an illusion of imaginary three-dimensional spaces. Through the inclusion of the architectural details, in my mind, I can revisit the places that I experienced and develop a sense of place that is personal, but the composition isRead More →

Shadows Artist Robin Smith | Penumbra VIII

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Robin Smith Laguna Beach, California, USA Penumbra VIII Charcoal Artist Statement I am a borderlander at heart. I live and work along the boundaries: visual, metaphorical, natural, and spiritual. As humans we build our world around definitions, classifications, and divisions. But these boundaries, though they form the very fabric of our society, are remarkably permeable; without constant vigilance they have a habit of softening, of becoming tangled and overgrown. It is within this softening—an oscillation between familiar constraints and inexplicable presences—that I situate myself as an artist. It is a liminal place where our human impulse to judgeRead More →

Shadows Artist Lynn Patron | The Park

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Lynn Patron Miami Beach, Florida, USA The Park Oil Painting Artist Statement The Park” brings the viewer into the somber cold day in fall, when the dark shadows of the trees fall on the brightly fallen leaves. Everyone is briskly going about their life, unattached to anyone else walking in the park. I seek refuge in the comfort of shapes and colors to reveal the emotions of the human condition and the environment. My linear style begins with a very simple strong line, usually black, to emphasize the shapes and composition. Light, although important, plays a secondary role.Read More →

Shadows Artist Leon Vanella | American River Path

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Leon Vanella Newcastle, Maine, USA American River Path Fine Art Photography Artist Statement The right shadows give a two dimensional image the sensation of depth. Very special shadows canfool the eye in real life, as these did. It was pure chance that I was there – I took a walk to kill some time while waiting for someone. After going a short way I happened to look back, and saw the pathbehind me criscrossed with the shadows cast by the arching trees on a bright California afternoon.Read More →

Shadows Artist Leonor Anthony | Snow Storm Armed With Umbrella

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Leonor Anthony Miami, Florida, USA Snow Storm Armed with Umbrella Oil Painting Artist Statement Why do I paint? Because I breathe. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil in my hands and hope to draw and paint until I no longer can. I was born in Cuba and left when I was three years old. After years of wandering, my family finally settled in Miami. I have always been a stranger in a strange land. This feeling of alienation led me to live by my own rules and set my own path. My brushstroke isRead More →

Shadows Artist Joe Krawczyk | Sun Spots

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joe Krawczyk Orlando, Florida, USA Sun Spots Acrylic Painting Artist Statement “It’s all about the light and the high drama that can be created. The early subjects I have chosen to illustrate this dramatic light have been primarily baskets. The light beautifully illuminates the basket, then passes through it to create a never ending array of light-speckled shadows. Even as I expand my subject matter beyond baskets, the drama of the light is still my primary focus.Read More →

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Erika Romero Suwon-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, Texas, Korea South Constallation III Wood Artist Statement I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, moved to San Antonio, Texas and grew up between both places.I have a MFA from University of California in Davis, a BFA and minor in Art History from University of Texas in San Antonio. I became an artist because I needed to voice my mind, in a visual form. My other job is working as an English teacher at EWHA ALS Academy, in South Korea. I research about light and shadow affecting human perception in painting. As I make sculpturesRead More →

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist José M. Gómez-Ros Madrid, California, Spain Luisa Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Photographic images are shadows of physical objects. Nearly two centuries ago, G.A. Becquer wrote that “love is only a ray of moonlight”. A woman may be just a shadow, a presence, a figure… something beyond herself.Read More →

Shadows Artist Jill Duncan | Pool Tables

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Jill Duncan Long Beach, California, USA Pool Tables Digital Art Artist Statement These old poolside tables look as though they marched out one bright sunny morning to mark the passage of time like forgotten sundials. I love how the inky black shadows balance the bright tabletop circles. I have enhanced the color to give the warn pool deck a bit more texture and interest. Digital photograph.Read More →

Shadows Artist Karl Melton | Wrench

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Karl Melton Murphy, Texas, USA Wrench Oil Painting Artist Statement The art I create is my exploration of the unanswerable question, “What is art?” And I find this exploration echoes my desire to know “What is God?” Art is my spiritual pursuit played out on canvas. For me, simplicity unfolds from complexity. I paint a wrench, a fairly simple shape. There’s endless complexity in shadows, the reflected light and the interplay of color. I paint a fire hydrant, a flower, a banana – I become engrossed in the detail. Like the fish whose entire life is spent atRead More →

Shadows Artist Daniel J Victor | Power Lines

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Daniel J Victor New York, New York, USA Power Lines Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Informed by a life spent in the disparate worlds of New York City and the rural region of New York State’s Delaware County, my work, in its celebration of authenticity, sensory subtlety, and profound discovery, stands in stark contrast to society’s desperate striving for reinvention, newness and youth. In the lineage of photographers such as Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan and Edward Weston, my photographs question the indoctrinated definitions of beauty, and illuminate the conflict between the perpetual existence of the natural world andRead More →

Shadows Artist Olga Stepanova | Love Leaves

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists   Artist Olga Stepanova Long Beach, California, USA Olga Stepanova – Love Leaves Watercolor Artist Statement When I lived in New Orleans, I used to walk to the park nearby. Usually it was already dark on the way home, and these shadows appeared on the sidewalk by a cute little house. They looked like flowers to me, even though they were just magnolia tree leaves. I stopped, if nobody was around, and looked at these “flowers” blossoming right under my feet. This was the best part of my journey. This place became my favorite in the whole city, andRead More →

Shadows Artist Olga Stepanova | Hands Full Of Sunshine

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Olga Stepanova Long Beach, California, USA Olga Stepanova – Hands Full of Sunshine Watercolor Artist Statement It was a sunny afternoon. I walked as I usually do, looking down and noticing beautiful little things. First I saw two flowers which looked like daisies, but much smaller. They reminded me of me and my sister being kids. And then… I saw this red leaf. It was a little dry, that’s why the sides of it curved so beautifully. This seemed so feminine to me. The grass shadows hugged it and the sunshine filled it up showing each curve evenRead More →

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Eleanor Marfoglia Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, USA Crystalline 2 Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Crystalline 2 is an image that I created from my disappointment of an old photo that was faded and discolored on the surface. My vision was to evoke the human spirit beyond the surface, I needed to add the depth and beauty of the world and its natural light to create a renewed lasting impression.Read More →

Shadows Artist Dan Pyle | Time Out

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Dan Pyle West Hollywood, California, USA Time Out Charcoal and Pastels Artist Statement A friend wanted to show me some antique clocks he came across in storage and this one stuck in my mind because of the coiled cord. It reminded me of a birds nest. The message here is about the innocence of reassigning something old into something usable. I loved the detail of the fraying cord and the dust caught in the grooves of the old plug.Read More →

Shadows Artist Dan Pyle | Left In Darkness

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Dan Pyle West Hollywood, California, USA Left In Darkness Charcoal Artist Statement I love inviting a bit of mystery in my work. Most of this subject is in shadow which leaves the viewer to use their imagination to tell the story that hides in the shadows. I feel that the matting of a drawing can become a part of the drawing, as it has with this piece by matting only 3 sides, allowing the mystery to float off into the frame. By the way, my framer thought I was nuts when I requested this, but completely changed theirRead More →

Shadows Artist Dan Pyle | Silver Lining

Shadows Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Dan Pyle West Hollywood, California, USA Silver Lining Charcoal Artist Statement While touring in Turkey, I spent a night in Canakkale. It was pouring rain when I arrived, but I walked down to the beach anyway and arrive just in time for the clouds to part and allow me to take the photo that I used to draw this piece. It was a challenge for me to draw something so undefined as clouds, but I had to try and capture this moment of light and shadow. Many people find this piece very spiritual.Read More →
