Online exhibition "GRAVITY"

The online gallery and TimaxArt Auction House in partnership with the Ukrainian Association for Feminine Research in the Arts (UAFRA) announces a virtual art contest in support of artists during the pandemic.

Topic

Pandemic coronavirus has a significant impact on social communication in the society. Quarantine measures and lookdowns have limited social connections between the people. The cultural sphere has suffered: museums and exhibitions, theaters and cinemas have often been closed. Artificial communication barriers have grown between the audience and the artists.

However, a mutual attraction between people in the families, links between friends and acquaintances are not weakened. New ways and tools emerge for their development and implementation. Barriers stimulate/attract innovative thinking and a search for new forms. Creativity, like a magnet, unites creators and audience, innovators and consumers. The force of human gravity is the key for overcoming any crisis.

 

We invite artists to speak on the topic “GRAVITY”!

 

The purpose of the contest

This project aims both to present young artists and support professionals in the times of digitization and reformatting of real art into a virtual one, providing an opportunity to promote (introduce) the artworks on the modern art scene.

The contest is open to all artists without age and geographical restrictions, or restrictions on techniques and styles. The works must correspond to the topic of the contest.
