A juried Group Show with Grand Prize: a Solo Show at Atlantic Gallery in NYC’s Chelsea art district.
In 1947, Mark Rothko wrote:
“Pictures must be miraculous: the instant one is completed, the intimacy between the creation and the creator is ended. He is an outsider. The picture must be for him, as for anyone experiencing it later, a revelation…”
The artist makes the work and the viewer sees it consciously and unconsciously without knowing quite how.
ARTISTS ARE ASKED TO SUBMIT WORKS THAT CHALLENGE THE VIEWER TO QUESTION HOW IDEAS, PLANS AND MATERIALS HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED IN THE ACT OF CREATION.
