Bold Abstracts 2024 Virtual Exhibition

AUGUST 10-NOVEMBER 10, 2024 

CAMELBACK GALLERY

Camelback Gallery is an Arizona-based gallery specializing in virtual exhibitions and juried artist competitions. Gilat Ben-Dor has recently been awarded a Finalist Award in the gallery's Bold Abstracts 2024 juried competition, for her watercolor painting, Plaid Pop I. This competition is viewable as a virtual exhibition (here).

More about Plaid Pop I: Plaid Pop I is a playful abstraction inspired by the dripping of candy apples with shiny glazes and various sweet toppings, moving joyfully to a jaunty Jazz beat. The Plaid Pop series is an example of my synesthesia, a neuro-quirk that allows colors, music, tastes, words and numbers to intermix, forming unique sensory expressions.

The artwork for this exhibition has been selected and voted on by three jurors based on theme, quality of work and technical skill. Award recipients represented are from 10 countries including USA, Canada, Germany, Australia, Spain, Denmark, Turkey, Ireland, Slovenia and Hong Kong (ROC).

For purchase of works in this exhibit, please contact artists directly.
