2013 SUMMER OPEN-THEME ART JURIED EXHIBITION

Broward Art Guild Gallery

3rd. Place Award Winner

Juror Statement

An open theme and a wide variety of disciplines combine to make an exciting summer exhibition. As a juror, my process is to view every entry. Mentally I begin selecting the pieces that command my attention for their artistic excellence. This criteria encompasses composition, design, technique and the unique point of view the artist brings to his work. These outstanding entries are now my benchmark on which to jury the show.

All the pieces I have chosen for recognition draw me back to them time and time again. Who doesn’t want to be immersed in the dreamlike atmosphere of a carnival, or enjoy the abstraction of fish underwater? These artists show me how they want me to see the subject, and I love it.

Finally, I want to acknowledge all the photographers in this exhibition. Your work is exceptional. From large lonely landscapes to a tiny portrait, you have mu attention.

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone that has participated. Thank you for the privilege of inviting me to jury this exhibition.

Sincerely

Susan Hanssen NWS
