In Bloom

 

Flower among flowers,
soft bud swooning,
opening her lovely petals,
bursting forth with life.

 

Blooms gladden all they espy; youthful candor and fragrance abounding!  They summon romantic gestures, evoke seasonal rebirth and highlight a raw yet delicate beauty.  Show us your most sensual works exploring flower power.  Rapturous still life images; the bloom on the vine, the bud in the vase.  Floral portraiture ever-nuanced, ever-growing. Humans bloom like flora and fauna; the girl on the cusp of womanhood, a boy breaching the threshold to manhood. Romance us with your interpretations of this tenuous beauty, these arrangements of organic sensuality.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option?  If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank.  Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch.  I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check.  My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries.  The total was about $16.50.  Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch?  When did this happen?  Clearly, I am out of touch with reality.  This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light.  Don’t miss this…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait

 

Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.

The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.

ELIGIBILITY: All artists 18 years or older

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced.  In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam.  PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components.  My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort.  Odd, eh?  This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other.  I like this theme…

We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.
