NEWS Press Release Abstract EXPOsure, the only abstract online juried exhibition, is pleased to announce its first competition this September. Abstract EXPOsure is a monthly venue that functions as an online international gallery-without-walls for the display of abstract painting, mixed media, sculpture, installation and digital photography. “We are excited with the launch of Abstract EXPOsure,” abstract artist and Abstract EXPOsure creator Nena Jaye said, “I wanted to create an online platform that truly celebrates the abstract voice and provides the artist with an opportunity for international exposure.” The inspiration to produce Abstract EXPOsure came through Jaye’s experience as an abstract artist and her passion for the abstract genre. “I have found freedom of imagination and creation from my work and I want to support and encourage abstract artists, while giving others the opportunity to find inspiration and meaning through abstract art,” Jaye said. Born out of this desire to showcase the abstract artist, Abstract EXPOsure uses current technology and the accessibility of the World Wide Web to breath life into the abstract genre. To enter the exhibitions artists submit digital images of their works, which must be abstract, not representational or figurative in any way. The work is juried by a panel of jurors from different areas of the art community. The panel varies each month, but all jurors have experience in and an understanding of abstract art. The variety of jurors offers artists a broad and balanced assessment of their work. Artists contend for a monthly Best in Show award and two monthly Merit awards. The recipient of the Best in Show award is then eligible for the Quarterly Best in Show award, in competition against other monthly award recipients. Recipients of the Quarterly Best in Show awards will be invited to showcase their work alongside Jaye at one of her future art shows. “I look forward to sharing my art shows with other talented artists and assisting them in promoting their work,” Jaye said. |
