Info:

Flow is an inherent characteristic of fluids. Fluids such as paint dribble, drip, ooze, pour, run, spill, splash, spread, and squirt. And the brush stroke has long been synonymous with painting.

This exhibition explores on the intrinsic properties that serve to characterize and identify the paint medium.

The juror's criteria for "FLOW: The Essence of Paint" was based on the mastery of technique and creative use of the medium, as well as the qualities of composition, line, color, texture, and scale.
