Drawing from the Well
Art from Art
Art can be a dialogue between art and the viewer, and also between the artist and art history. One of the most enduring qualities about art is the way that visual influence is passed along time and geography, as artists are engaged with and inspired by the work of other artists. This show will consist of art that is based on another work or movement. Examples can be a copy of an older work, working “in the style of”, creative reimagining, or interpreting work in a different medium.
On the application, please provide a jpeg of your work (in progress is okay!) along with the title, artist, and a jpeg of the piece that inspired it. This is a juried show, and participants will be notified by of acceptance after submission deadline is closed.
Example: PiCatso
I drew inspiration from Picasso, and his cubist works, where elements such as a persons facial features were distorted in their position/perspective. I had a thought that this is what cats think when they take on their liquid form to fit into any box they attempt to squeeze themselves in to. Biggie the cat used as a reference in this piece.
