ABOUT THE JUROR:

Dr Orin Carpenter

“When approaching the creation of my art, the process is the most fulfilling component for me. Using mixed media allows an incredible marriage between materials used building into one union. My experiences living as an African American Man is where my inspiration stems from in creating the images that eventually come to fruition for all to see.”

Dr. Carpenter found a new perspective and created a new series Quarantine State of Mind in response to COVID-19. “My world, like everyone else’s, came to an abrupt change of direction due to how we had to evolve as a planet. These pieces symbolize what I was feeling during that time, as well as the world’s reaction to things. Even though there was a lot of disparity during this pandemic, it made us all get a new “perspective.” That perspective is to remember what is really important in our lives.”

JUROR’S WEBSITE

Monochrome | Juried Exhibition

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our juried art exhibition and competition, Monochrome.

Restrained, muted colors, the richness of tonal transitions and shades close in color, stormy play of chiaroscuro – make us feel something more. Not explicit, but hidden is revealed in the picture, setting the contemplator to spiritual experiences.
Artists, since ancient times, have always known about these possibilities in creativity. And in the twentieth century, the use of monochrome even resulted in the creation of a whole artistic direction in painting.
And when and for what purpose do you use this technique in your work? Share your work using monochrome colors.

All artists 18 and older are encouraged to submit their work in any medium, style, and genre.

Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com.

The winners (1st place) are interviewed by the UPWARD Gallery editors for publication in the printed edition UPWARD’s Quarterly and on our site.

Each entrants of the competition receives a personal page in the UPWARD gallery, where they can show their art and tell about themselves.

Selected works will be featured in curated galleries on our site.

All entrants will receive electronic certificates based on the results of the competition.

Entry fee: from $9 per entry. For artists under 22 – $6 per entry.
