Philip was previously DZINE Gallery’s Director and Curator, producing exhibitions featuring Bay Area artists. Philip Bewley is a Curator and Art Advisor with over twenty-five years of experience in the curation of fine art and in the production of exhibitions. JUROR: Philip Bewley, Philip Bewley Art Advisory, San Francisco, CA We welcome wide interpretations of the theme of “Shadows.” Lies happen in public, while truths lurk in the shadows.Īrtists use shadows to contrast dark and light in imagery, and artworks that cast a shadow on a gallery wall provide their own form of magic. Show us your depiction of this illusory subject. But in the shadows behind your back, they’re sharing a more sinister truth. In ‘the light of day’, someone might be giving you one piece of information. Our vision is obscured in the darkness of shadows, and we are never sure what happens there. Killers, kidnapers, and prowlers do their work in the shadows. Shadows can also be a refuge, for those who need to conceal themselves from public scrutiny or from enemies. Shadows can also represent secrets, deceit, uncertainty, and dark magic. Monsters, ghosts, beasts, and scuttling insects often lurk in the shadows and frighten us. In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, shadows reflected on the cave wall represent the illusion of reality, as opposed to the vision of true objects under light. “The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.” - George R.R.

Embracing the changes of how to conduct business, brought on by the pandemic, Bacchi felt the need to reinvent. This SF LEGACY BUSINESS remained at the forefront of noteworthy San Francisco Contemporary Galleries for twenty-five years. JUROR: James Bacchi, James Bacchi Contemporary, Palm Springs, CAĪs an accomplished gallerist, James Bacchi co-founded the award-winning ON THE WALL in New York’s East Village and Jagendorf-Bacchi in SOHO. In 1996, he partnered with Art Consultant Annette Schutz and opened ArtHaus Gallery in San Francisco, and soon voted “Best Art Gallery” on the BAY AREA A-LIST for three years running. We look forward to seeing your masterpiece. Abstract works, images of nature, images of the human form, photography, marble sculptures, welded metal objects, mezzotint, etching, woodblock, lithograph and other traditional printmaking media, op-art, pop-art and embroidered or crocheted fiber art are just a few examples of works that could dazzle in black and white. Creating art with these constraints makes one concentrate on elements other than color - composition, value, lighting, and form.
The color black is the first pigment used by human beings in prehistory, made from a mixture of charcoal and iron - it was the beginning, but it also symbolically represents the end. White is thought of as purity, but white is often tinted in some way, with subtle gradations.įor this exhibition, we seek works that limit the color palette to black, white, and/or the blending of the two. White is pure light, and black is the absence of light. Black and white appear as both each other’s opposites. “Colour is everything, black and white is more.” - Dominic RouseĬolors are wavelengths reflected by objects to the human eye.
