The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) invites artists to submit work for inclusion in The Shape of Things, to be held at The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and online at RNACexhibitions.com. 

Show Description

Everything we see or imagine we see has shape. Nothingness too, has shape, taking its form from all the things of our experience. Shape presents itself as a duality—positive/negative, figure/ground, inside/outside—and creates meaning through relationships. In considering shape within a work of art, we may find that it is subtle, ambiguous, open to interpretation, or that it boldly states its intention. Shape may be derived from a solid mass, or it may appear as an assembly of secondary elements, possibly lines or dots or masses of color. Shape may actually have, or appear to have, depth; or it may be absolutely flat, limited to two dimensions. 

With this exhibition, the Rocky Neck Art Colony invites artists to submit 3–5 works in any media that reflects their thoughts and imagination about shape. Artwork submitted, regardless of materials used and the creative methods by which the work is developed, should reflect a strong sense of shape or mass and may read anywhere along a continuum from bold, distinct forms to more subtle interpretations of the theme.
