Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. For example, in the Blue spectrum we have Azure, Cobalt, Cerulean, Ultramarine, etc. Reds might include Garnet, Crimson, Rose…the possibilities for explorations within each hue are endless.  How expressive can you be utilizing a single base hue?

For inspiration, consider a few well-known artists who explored the possibilities of working in monochrome: Agnes Martin, Mark Rothko and Gerhard Richter.  

Contemporary, expressionistic, abstract, exploratory, and/or experimental entries welcomed.

Each artist may submit up to 3 individual pieces of artwork for consideration into this juried online show. Diptychs and Triptychs are considered 1 piece of work. Diptychs and Triptychs must be submitted as one image. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept film or video at this time.
