This year, the theme is “Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic”It encourages students to explore the irrational, the spontaneous, the marvelous, the enigmatic and the dreamlike.
The Fantastic is not a style but a genre. It is characterized as unusual, surprising and disorienting. It challenges the rational and traditional. The Fantastic is not a style but a genre. It is characterized as unusual, surprising and disorienting. It challenges the rational and traditional. Artists associated with the Fantastic stretch back to the 1500s, and include such diverse figures as Hieronymus Bosch, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Francisco Goya, Paul Klee, and Salvador Dalí.
Several key themes of The Fantastic are monsters and demons, dreams and temptations, the fragmented body, the supernatural and the sense of place. The Fantastic creates a moment of doubt or confusion for the viewer, making one unsure about what is being seen. It is the familiar made strange.
Dalí once said, “I try to create fantastical things, magical things, things like in a dream. The world needs more fantasy. Our civilization is too mechanical. We can make the fantastic real, and then it is more real than that which actually exists.”
“Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic ” invites students to reflect on their own Fantastic ideas, creating images that surprise, shock and delight. We look forward to seeing your students’ work in 2024!
The work size is strictly limited to 8×10 because of the frame size, but all 2D media types are welcomed and encouraged as submissions.
