Where there’s light, there must be shadow. Whether an artist knows it or not, light and shadow are essential to all forms of art, either as the subject of the piece, or the material being used to create it. From the dramatic chiaroscuros of the European Renaissance to the interactive and immersive experiences of Mary Corse and Yayoi Kusama, light and shadow continuously fascinate artists. Pieces that play with this dynamic will be eligible for Maryland Federation of Art’s 7th annual Light and Shadow exhibition. Entry will be open to all artists residing internationally. All original 2D or 3D artwork in any media will be eligible for this online show. Works selected by the juror will be on display in ArtCall’s online web gallery, from December 15, 2024 – January 31, 2025.
