From masterpieces such as Fragonard’s flirtatious vignette ‘The Swing’, to Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’, or Watteau’s ‘The Scale of Love’ art history offers numerous examples of romantic love. The theme could also be extended to platonic, or religious love, passion, devotion.Above all, love is the most human of emotions, and art possibly the most human of ways to express it. They are looking for artists who are inspired by their love of art history and who reinterpret this theme from their own unique perspectives. Please see the website and CuratorSpace for more details on prizes and awards information. Cynthia Valianti Corbett made debut at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. We proudly showcased the work of three extraordinary Young Masters artists: Dola Posh, a UK-based Nigerian photographer who explores the complexities of motherhood through powerful self-portraits, addressing themes of identity loss and postpartum depression while capturing the strength and vulnerability of this journey. Ashley January, a Chicago-based painter, draws from her own maternal experiences to highlight critical issues such as pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and the Black maternal morbidity crisis in the United States. And Freya Bramble-Carter, a London-based ceramicist, who channels sacred energies through her profound connection to clay, creating pieces that invite viewers to reconnect with the Earth. |
