CHIAROSCURO
The concept of Chiaroscuro has been evident throughout art history since the 5th C. in Greece, with more extensive use resuming in the 15th C. to today. The use of light (chiaro) and dark(scuro) assists in creating three dimensionality and drama to two-dimensional works of art. Contemporary use of this technique is found in drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking and photographic works. The use of a single light source assists in creating this effect. All media welcomed; we look forward to your entry!
The Loft Artist Association is pleased to announce an open, tri-state call for entries from artists in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Juror is Nancy McTague-Stock, MFA, will review all entries via EntryThingy.com. Deadlines include September 19th for entries, October 1st artist notifications, Accepted Artwork Drop off October 10-11 and Opening Reception on Saturday, October 16th.
Nancy McTague-Stock was a Fellowship Recipient for post-graduate work at The Slade School of Art at the University of London in Experimental Drawing. She received an MFA from The Art Institute of Boston in Visual Studies in New Media, a Marketing Strategy Certificate from Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, and a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Metalsmithing and Textiles.
Ms. McTague-Stock has been the recipient of many awards, residencies, grants and fellowships. Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions at over eleven museums, solo/group shows in galleries and universities in Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, Great Britain, Ireland, Latvia, New Zealand, Portugal, Serbia and in the U.S., from Los Angeles to New York. Nancy's work has appeared in such publications as the New York Times, Studio Visit Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, Art New England Magazine, Hearst Media, The Woven Tale Press, VCU Arts, CBS Connecticut, Connecticut Post, VENU Magazine, Moffly Media, EastCoast Home & Design and New England Home among others. Her work is collected by private and public institutions worldwide, including most recent acquisitions of her work by Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., The Douro Museum Printmaking Biennial Collection in Portugal and The Chateau Orquevaux Permanent Collection in France.
A periodic lecturer about contemporary art, environment and culture, Nancy has also combined her studio practice with work as a teacher, artists' mentor, arts writer, curator and juror for many academic, private and public institutions for exhibitions, including The Prince of Wales Foundation in the UK. Nancy lives on a nature preserve in Connecticut, providing a constant source of fodder for her work and maintains her permanent studio in the United States.
