Description
Artists have depicted flowers for centuries, relying on context to imbue meaning. Historically, flowers have represented fertility or decay, purity or promiscuity, hope or despair. Flowers have long been associated with love, and individual flowers have acquired their own language. Over time, the meanings associated with flowers have transformed. In the 60?s and 70?s, the term FLOWER POWER was used in conjunction with pop art images of flowers to represent peaceful resistance to the war. And sometimes a flower?? is just a flower.
We welcome the exploration of floral imagery and the ideas they may (or may not) represent. All styles encouraged: From realism to surrealism to abstract and pop.
Open to all 2-D and 3-D mediums. At this time, we are unable to accept electronic media and do not accept AI generated work.
‘Flower Power’ will be juried by Deborah Rubin.
