Just as the common phrase “shades of grey” refers to a state of uncertainty or ambiguity, the use of a single color or hue in painting leads to the suggestion of ideas and questions rather than a definition of reality. By reducing a painting or artwork to a single essential hue or color, the viewer is invited to focus on issues such as shape, space, design, composition, tonality, and form. Arts Benicia, a non-profit art center in Benicia, CA, invites artists to submit artwork for Explorations in Monochromatic Art, a juried exhibition that seeks to showcase exceptional monochromatic artwork in a wide range of genres and mediums.
All 2D and 3D media accepted, and video files. 2D work may not exceed 36” in width or 72” in height, including the frame. 3D work may not exceed a 36” x 36” footprint.
