What is Pop Art? Pop Art originated in the 1950s challenging the traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books, and mass-produced objects or toys. Pop Art (also referred to today as Fan Art) fills Comic Cons (Comic Conventions) all over the country. Pop Art depicts recognizable characters of TV, movies, comics, sci-fi, superheroes, celebrities, musicians, kitschy nostalgic brand names, and items from popular culture, but with a unique twist and interpretation from the artist.
What is Cosplay? Costumes depicting your favorite characters from TV, movies, video games, celebrities, sci-fi, superheroes, comics, etc.

This exhibit is going to be epic!

BOLD ABSTRACTS 2024 (VIRTUAL EXHIBIT)

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.
