Event: A Slash of Blue
Dates: 3 Mar 2023 - 8 Apr 2023
Gerald Moore Gallery is delighted to present A slash of Blue- our annual open-call exhibition, this year with an emphasis on painting. The title for this exhibition comes from the poem ‘A slash of Blue-‘ by the American poet Emily Dickinson:
A slash of Blue –
A sweep of Gray –
Some scarlet patches on the way,
Compose an Evening Sky –
A little purple – slipped between –
Some Ruby Trousers hurried on…
The call was open to all artists living in London and the Southeast. Artists were asked to submit an image of a painting that worked in relation to the poem; this was open to wide interpretation. The scope of the entries was vast and varied.
A slash of Blue- runs from 3rd March – 8th April 2023. The opening event is on Friday, 3rd March, 4 – 8pm.
