Call for submissions for the International Open Exhibition
WHITE exhibition #2
Concept: White
The annual color series began with the first "#Blue" exhibition and has since shed light on the presence of "color" hidden in everyday life.
This time the theme is "WHITE". White is not just a neutral color; it holds a variety of charms, such as the expressions created by shadows, the contrast between matte and glossy, transparency and lightness, and the strength that lies beneath its stillness.
This exhibition invites submissions of works that offer a free interpretation of "WHITE," regardless of genre, including painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, and digital art. When placed in a space, the stillness, purity, and sharp presence that white possesses will emerge as a new kind of appeal.
We look forward to receiving your application and seeing how your inner "white" will take shape.
Organized by: Art Gallery 410Gallery
"Enjoy art"
410Gallery brings together a diverse range of artists, both professional and amateur, and daily exhibitions transcending genre and experience boundaries are created. It is a gallery where various forms of expression naturally intertwine within a space for enjoying art, and where artists from different backgrounds present their work in the same place, continuously expanding the possibilities of new forms of expression.
