NOOBAA

Non-Objective Abstract Art - 4th Annual International Juried Exhibition

Deadline for Submission: July 31, 2022

NOOBAA | Non-Objective Abstract Art - 4th Annual International Exhibition

The theme of Non-Objective Abstract Art can refer to Non-Objective Art or Non-Representational Art, which does not seek to represent specific objects, people, or other subjects found in the natural world, but instead relies on shape, line, color and form with no particular subject. Non-Objective Art is a pure abstract style that typically uses geometric motifs on a shallow picture plane. Art that has no illusion of pictorial depth made by linear perspective in the image and is purposely devoid of any references to worldly things or object. Styles include pure abstraction, such as geometric abstraction, neo-plasticism (De Stijl), color field, lyrical abstraction, concrete art, and more but must be unrelated to objective reality.

Juror: Lisa Hatchadoorian, Executive Director, MOA Museum of Art Fort Collins
