Thème ouvert

« La photographie est un art d’observation. Il s’agit de trouver quelque chose d’intéressant… Cela n’a pas grand-chose à voir avec les choses que vous voyez et tout à voir avec la façon dont vous les voyez. –Elliott Erwitt


Praxis Gallery recherche la soumission d'art photographique de tout genre et de tout sujet qui représente l'effort de l'artiste pour révéler une déclaration personnelle de signification visuelle, qu'il s'agisse d'une célébration du formalisme esthétique pur, de l'humour ou du conflit, de la fiction ou du fait, ou de tout autre littéral. ou manifestation éphémère. Tous les genres, types de capture, noir et blanc et couleur, processus de post-production photographique et numérique traditionnels et non traditionnels, sont les bienvenus.

Exhibition Frame & Print Size

Praxis features museum-quality 22x22-inch black frames with four standard precut white mattes.
