Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery announces its 24th “Solo Art Series” Online Art Competition.  The gallery will judge the Top 12 artists who have the most complete “Body of Work” to show.  From that group of 12 artists, the gallery will award 4 monthly Solo Art Exhibitions and the next 8 artists will be awarded and featured in the gallery’s Artist Showcase Section.

The gallery’s competition for February 2023 was the 13th Annual “Cityscapes” Online Art Competition. Both 2D and 3D, artists, from around the world, were called upon to make online submissions for possible inclusion in to the Gallery’s March 2023 online group art exhibition.

Artists were asked for their interpretation of the “Cityscapes” theme by submitting their best abstract or representational art for this competition.

The gallery received 476 entries from 21 different countries from around the world, as well as from 29 different states and the District of Columbia.   

The exhibition has been divided into two media categories - Painting & Other Media and Photography & Digital Art.  Due to a limited number of 3 Dimensional entries, these artworks have been included in the Painting & Other Media category. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the twelve (12) best entries comprised from all the media categories.

The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.

All winning entries will now be featured on the Light Space & Time website homepage for the 3 months. Thereafter, the artworks and links to the artist’s websites will remain online in the Light Space & Time Archives.

Congratulations to our artists who made our 13th Annual “Cityscapes” Art Exhibition so successful this month. At any time, we invite our winning artists and other interested visitors to link their websites to the Gallery’s archive page for further ongoing promotion.

Congratulations to Linda McCord for her acceptance into Fusion Art's Featured Artist Members Gallery.

Linda McCord is an international award-winning artist based in Washington, USA.  Her work has been described as abstract realism and she works in most of the two-dimensional mediums.

Linda was awarded 1st Place Overall/Best in Show for her artwork, "Yellow Gown" in the Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery’s 12th Annual “All Women” Online Art Exhibition in February 2023 and selected this Featured Artist membership as her award.

"Yellow Gown" is part of Linda’s Mirror Image series. In this series of acrylic paintings, I pose my models as if they are still life objects, focusing on composition and lighting. I use mathematical concepts in my work rather than emotion. I love repetition of shapes and any type of contrast excites me. 

She is a Fusion Art Featured Artist Member. Click below to visit her member artist webpage and to learn more about her.
