[amorpha].  march 2025 group show

Theme

​

With an homage to František Kupka’s 1912 Amorpha, this group show focuses on (non-representational, non-objective, non-figurative) abstract art that leverages elements such as color, geometry, lines, shapes, space, sound, and/or movement to provide rich, unapologetic commentaries on contemporary life.

​

If you are an abstract artist with the ability to use your craft to communicate powerful sentiments in the viewer, then this show is for you. We are less interested in abstract work that is created as a decorative piece to prettify one’s home, and more in artworks that provide powerful commentaries on current issues — be them political, socio-cultural or personal.   

​

Who can participate

​

​Any artist (or team of artists) wishing to take on this challenge can submit ONE artwork (as per below requirements). ALL submissions must be NEW, ORIGINAL artworks that respond to and take into account all requirements of this brief.  Artworks out of the scope of the brief or not in response to the brief will not be considered. Due to space constraints, we will not accept NFS submissions. 

Any art that we determine to be misogynistic, racist, offensive or similarly inclined will not be considered.​ You can be as strong as you wish in your creative expressions, provided it does not hurt others.

​

  • You can use any medium, style, or technique.

  • The work is abstract yet provides rich, unapologetic commentaries on contemporary life.
