EAT! 2020
J. Mane Gallery
Aug. 28, 2024 - Sep. 28, 2020
J. Mane Gallery is pleased to present its EAT! International Online Juried Art Exhibition.
Food is essential to our survival. It is also one of the great pleasures in life. It’s no surprise then that fruit, vegetables, meat, and drink have been common motifs in painting and sculpture from the Roman-era until today. For this competition, artists were encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of food and eating. The artwork varied from realism to surrealism to abstraction. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best inspired work. Entries were received from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Romania, Israel and the Republic of Moldova.
Each of our themed exhibitions, awards for First, Second and Third Place. The First Place winner for the EAT! show is Andrew Leventis for his oil on linen, Freezer Box. Andrew’s interpretation of the theme as well as the composition of the subject are outstanding. The juxtaposition of colors has the viewer hanging out and looking inside for what they will find next. Andrew is also the Featured Artist for the next four weeks.
Taking Second Place is Gabriella Alejandra Aragon for her photograph, Hydrate. The mood Gabriella has achieved with her lighting and composition draw you in and make you curious about what exactly are you hydrating with. And, Third Place goes to Irena Roman for her transparent watercolor, Deluxe. Irena’s master of the medium is apparent and treatment of the subject are what made her work stand apart.
Eight Honorable Mention awards were given as well. Honorable Mention awards go to Maureen Bennett for mixed media, Colors of Ripeness, Heidi Brueckner for her oil and acrylic on fabric, Hors-D’œuvres, Kate Derstein for her oil on panel, Apple And Honeysuckle Vine, Sher Hackwell for her photograph, The Blues, Debra Keirce for her oil painting, Cooooool Mint, Nissan Leviathan for his digital art, Loaf Rolling, Irina Sergeyeva for her painting Damn Nice Coffee And Cherry Pie and Vasu Tolia, for her painting, Organic.
