Shadow and Light

Shadows and Light .

Black is symbolic in many cultures, expressing mystery, elegance, drama, even the great void. Whites and grays, conversely, are hopeful, bringing contrast and defining forms.

The absence of color allows us to better see the pictorial composition, and the arrangements and intensity of shadows and light can create a high contrast image or a dusky play of subtle grays. The lack of color concentrates our attention on the subject and the design.

Please submit your interpretation of this achromatic theme in any media such as photography, printmaking, pencil and charcoal, fiber, ceramic or mixed media.

 

Featured in the show is the art of local photographer Richard Hay Jr. with the debut of his series

RED is a powerful color that has been used throughout history and is associated with love, passion, and courage. In Asian countries, it symbolizes happiness and good fortune. The quest for this color was an obsession that involved many empires and spawned many novel-worthy intrigues in the pursuit of this most desirable color on earth.RED is a “fast” color, it has a dominant wavelength that reaches our eye before other colors. It stands out from all backgrounds.RED sunsets, strawberries, scarlet slippers; royal capes, rubies, and cardinals- all are infused with this special color and used by all artists.
