The Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) organises this juried contest of mixed-media artwork which focuses on the chief medium of colored pencil - as well as how it tin hold out combined amongst other fine art media as well as surfaces as well as supports to exercise fine art. It's an online exhibition which is available on the website until Jan 31, 2014.
This twelvemonth 298 entries were submitted to the exhibition of which 53 were selected for the exhibition as well as thirteen were awarded prizes.
Overall, I noted to a greater extent than originality, more creativity and to a greater extent than artwork which looked similar the type of contemporary fine art which 1 powerfulness await to regard inward an fine art gallery than I mean value I've ever seen earlier inward whatsoever CPSA show. All the artwork was interesting as well as went means beyond technical competence inward the laying downwards of colours. Very trivial is 'straight' realism, which to my heed swamps the summertime show.
It left me wondering whether this is a bounding main alter or whether inward previous years to a greater extent than traditional jurors convey picked to a greater extent than traditional pieces. I'd similar to hop it's the former.
One thing which struck me is that since the alter inward rules, it's also really clear that some artists are really probable to focus on this exhibition every bit Neocolors are instantly no longer eligible for the International Open inward the summer.
The Awards
I mean value I'm correct inward maxim at that spot are to a greater extent than awards than ever before. This demo is instantly for sure enough rivalling the chief International Open demo for the lineament of awards on offer
I took a facial expression at the artwork earlier reviewing the laurels winners as well as I convey to say I wasn't at all surprised past times either of the 2 laissez passer on awards every bit these were both pieces which prompted me to halt as well as facial expression longer. I mean value it's also really interesting to regard how large an affect tin hold out achieved through the purpose of understated as well as almost monochromatic color - peculiarly when at that spot is a score of content to the artwork which goes beyond groovy observation as well as impeccable technique.
It's also worth noting that both pieces contained humour - as well as I'm e'er groovy to applaud those who encounter the challenge of including humour inward a subtle way.
The juror
The juror was Mana Hewitt, the Director of the McMaster Art Gallery and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Art Department of the University of South Carolina. I Federal Reserve annotation she stated
As juror I persuasion myself every bit an fine art patron. I asked myself which of these artworks moves me aesthetically, emotionally, viscerally every bit good every bit meets the criteria of the CPSA inward price of colored pencil. In selecting the laurels winners I flora that First identify as well as Best inward Show, "Foiled Again" past times Eileen Sorg, was particular inward procedure as well as content. Sorg skillfully pushed beyond the expected to exercise a wonderful visual pun. Second identify "Spirit Stones" past times Deborah Friedman, manipulated transparency, light, as well as reflection amongst particular science as well as adept humor. Could those rocks hold out smiling?The laurels winners
