Unmasked

"UNMASKED”: to reveal the true character of; a revelation; an unveiling.

​McCord Gallery invites artists to apply for the upcoming exhibition "Unmasked". After a year of being hidden behind our masks, we hope to capture the artist's interpretation of "unmasking": to reveal the true character of something. It's an unveiling; exposing what was hidden; revealing the unexpected, literally or figuratively. What can be seen in a new way?

Drawing in Black/White/Grey

"Colour is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” Eliott Erwitt
When images are limited to black, white and shades of grey, viewers are drawn to focus on the subject matter, and the details of how the artist interprets an image in the absence of color. The simplicity of a restricted palette works across many media. Quite often, the fundamentals of drawing and painting are introduced with the most basic colors of black, white, and grey. With an eagerness to learn color theory, appreciation can be lost for the depth and versatility of this limited color palette...McCord Gallery & Cultural Center is looking for artists to submit their BLACK/WHITE/GREY works of art.
