Working in black and white forces the artist to focus on the essentials - composition, contrast, negative and positive space. Time and time again, we've seen this singular focus lead to exceptional works of art. Which is why we're showcasing black and white work in our February art exhibit . . . with just a pop of color!
Paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital compositions will be accepted. Sculptures may also be accepted, depending on dimensions (contact the gallery for more information). Pieces may incorporate color, but should be primarily black and white.
