Philodendron Variations by Sandra Belitza-Vazquez

Black & White

Prospectus

J. Mane Gallery invites submissions for its Black & White online juried art exhibition.  

Monochrome means one color, so in relation to art, a monochrome artwork is one that includes only one color.

Throughout the centuries artists used different shades of brown or black to create monochrome pictures on paper. The medium they would use would simply be more or less diluted to achieve the required shades.  The play of light and dark enabled the artist to define form and create a picture.

For this competition, artists are encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of any subject, but using only one color.  The artwork may vary from realism to surrealism to abstraction. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best inspired work.
