February Online & Virtual Group Art Show

Greetings artists and friends of the gallery!

Our February Online Group Art Show ”Paradise Pink” goes live today and although many found the theme challenging, we made it to everybody!

Since its invention, Pink has most often been associated with youth, sweetness, and femininity and although only 2% of people say Pink is their favorite color, our Co-Founder adores it. Now it is our pleasure to bring you this show featuring 51 artists and their interpretations on Pink. Visit the online show here:

Solo Show by Bruce Sanders

Bruce Sanders

We are happy to announce that Bruce Sanders, our 1st Solo Show winner from "Hello Tomorrow" premiers his Show today and his show runs between February 1 - 14th. You can view the show on our website: Solo Show and in our Virtual Gallery.

★ Bruce Sanders is an expressionist and abstract painter living in Malibu, California. Bruce’s work blurs the lines between representational and abstract art. It delves into a space between the real world and a mystical-magical realm. Bruce employs kinetic forms, dynamic colors, and primal emotions in all of his art. By doing so, his work compels viewers to empathize, analyze, and interpret their own feelings.

Bruce’s work has been exhibited in shows in Laguna, Newport Beach, Santa Monica, Ventura, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Palm Springs. Bruce is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825. He is a Member Artist of TAG Gallery in Los Angeles near LACMA. Bruce is also a Member Artist of Artlounge Collective in Los Angeles.

"Why do I paint? I do not try to create on canvas, a “picture” of the external world that can be observed by all. Rather than look outward, my paintings are humble attempts to look inward. My work has been described as having expressions of deep and primal emotion. In the case of my abstract paintings, I try to employ dynamic color, thickly-layered texture, bold lines, and unrestrained forms to express what I am feeling. It has been said that this painting explores the depths of spirituality and enters a realm of mystical and magical. And “yes”…I am a daydreamer, and my works truly have their origins in dreams and visions."

Congratulations Bruce and please enjoy his show everyone!

Submit your art to our March Group Show now!

In March we celebrate International Women's Day.

Throughout history and across the globe, women were often seen as the embodiment of good virtue, nurture, care, and compassion.

In the 21st Century Women have transitioned from traditional gender roles and presentation to anything they want to be and do.

In art, Women have been one of the most popular subjects for artists since the Prehistoric period and now in our March Online Group Artshow, we want to see female-centric artworks.

We welcome artworks depicting Women from all mediums of visual art, except video/film.

★ Digital entries must be received by February 23rd, 2022 before 11:59 pm EST.

★ Notification of acceptance will be sent by email by February 28th.

★ The show will premiere on March 1st and end on March 31st.

AWARDS:

★ All Artists participating in the online group show will be featured on our Website and Virtual Gallery platform. We will promote the show and the Artists in our Newsletter and individually on our Instagram page @hmvcgallery.

★ All participating Artists will be awarded an HMVC Gallery New York certificate of participation.

★ During the online group show, we will select two winners to have their own Solo Shows the following month. They will have two weeks each and we will promote them in our Newsletter and on our Instagram page respectively. The winners will also receive a second certificate recognizing their achievement.

As our community grows, we have received multiple requests for Solo opportunities. You asked and we listened, so now HMVC Gallery New York is offering you the opportunity to have your own solo show on our ArtPlacer virtual platform for a month. Because the artists in our community are at various stages in their careers, we have created three different plans for you to choose from Plan Manor, Plan Palace, and Plan Castle.
