Open Exhibition – Still Life: Nature and Objects Shaped<\/p>\n
Through its annual open exhibition opportunities, Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham helps artists locally, nationally and internationally to showcase their work in group exhibitions across three gallery spaces: Orleans and Stables Galleries in Twickenham and the Riverside Gallery in Richmond.\u00a0In 2013, we have a further opportunity for artists to submit artwork for an exhibition at the Riverside Gallery entitled Still Life: Nature and Objects Shaped.<\/p>\n
This exhibition aims to celebrate the theme of the still life through a variety of subject matter and medium. Introduced in Ancient Greek and Roman art, still life has continuously attracted artists as a genre which enables control and virtuosity in composition and design. This is consistently evident both in figurative and trompe-l\u2019oeil (to fool the eye) works which strive to mirror nature and in more symbolic and abstract pieces. Still Life: Nature and Objects Shaped will explore contemporary still lives from traditional depictions of man-made and natural objects to more conceptual and innovative approaches through mixed and digital media. We are seeking original artwork or prints from UK-based artists in a range of media and styles that reflect the theme.<\/p>\n
Artists can submit up to 5 works. Artworks must be submitted as high resolution jpeg files on a CD (please do not include a case), with accompanying A4 sized photographic prints or good quality colour printouts.\u00a0Original artwork or emailed submissions will not be accepted. Deadline for submissions: 10.00am Friday 18 October 2013. Submissions to: Orleans House Gallery, Riverside, Twickenham, TW1 3DJ<\/p>\n
