Call for Artists
More Disruption: REpresentational Art in Flux
This is a call to Southern California Based Artists
You are invited to submit artwork (2D only) to be considered for inclusion in More Disruption: Representational Art in Flux. This exhibition will explore representational painting that has been reshaped and “disrupted”—including by abstraction, web-based imagery, and socio-political concerns—in response to contemporary life and its challenges. This exhibition is inspired by John Seed’s book of the same name as well as his earlier book Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World. It also celebrates OMA’s mission to share the art and stories of Southern California artists. Artists Aleah Chapin and Timothy Robert Smith, who are among the artists featured in the book More Disruption: Representational Art, will be featured.
Made possible with support from the Negri Foundation and Lisa Bebi of Artist Mentor Project
