Fee: $30
“Stillness” / Award of $500. / 20- 25 artworks included in our Gallery (online for this show). Juried by Maria Porges
L7 Gallery invites contemporary artists to share their art that investigates and represents the concept of stillness. Being more than just quiet or calm, stillness in a moment can be filled with serene reflection, joyous possibility or anxious alertness. Stillness can be evoked through muted colors such as Giorgio Morandi’s still lifes, Gwen John’s various portraits and Agnes Martin’s large abstract expressionist works; or stillness can be as richly colored as Vermeer’s “Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window”. Animals can represent the moment of stillness before action, such as Rosa Bonheur’s “Stag”, or a moment of the seemingly humorous self-realization of a frog by Meika Gafu.
Consider what work you have, or create something new that you feel depicts “stillness”, be it figurative, landscape, or abstract and let us present your work in our online show. Painting/Drawing/Prints/Collages all accepted.
An award of $500. will be granted to one selected artist based on originality of expression and craftsmanship.
