Theme:
“Light and Darkness” – “ Φωςκαισκοτάδι”
We live in a world made of, or revealed by, light and shadow and we presume that light and darkness are opposite polarities, yet when they meet, they fit together perfectly, generating harmony not friction. Each is complementary to the other.

The contrast of light and darkness (white and black , day and night) has a long tradition of metaphorical/metaphysical usage, traceable to the ancient Near East, and explicitly in the Table of Opposites of Pythagoras.

Through art and nature we see  that the qualities of light and darkness always generate and embody a communion of opposition.
They replace one another in mutual transformation.

Each polarity always implies or necessitates the presence of its opposite. Black/White, Foreground/Background, Yin/Yang, Good/Evil.

The artistic theme may be explored in diverse aspects:– A chromatic exploration with “chiaroscuro” effects.
– The balance and pattern of light and shade
– Mood and feelings that light and dark suggest to you .
– Use light and dark to explore simply a face, a landscape , a still life or whatever can be represented through light, darkness or a balance between them.
– Explore how darkness and light can express your ideas and beliefs.
– Experiments into ambiguous foreground/background perception.WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE RESPONSE?● Registration closes on the 12th April 2020
