Fusion Art is pleased to announce the opening of the 3rd Annual “Figures & Faces” International Online Art Exhibition for the month of October 2017. The exhibition is now available for viewing on the Fusion Art website and features awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Digital Art & Photography.

For this exhibition artists were encouraged to share their best artistic interpretation of the “colorful abstractions” theme. All artists, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best nonobjective and/or non-representational art and photography.

The Best in Show winners are Nadine Manuel for her oil on canvas, "Selfie" and Harry Longstreet for his photograph "The History of Warsaw." Both Nadine and Harry are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of October 2017 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 3rd Annual Group Show in November 2018.

Other award winners include Second Place winners, Faramus for his oil on canvas, "On the Edge" and Michael Gerry for his photograph on metal, "Seated Nude." Third Place awards were given to Anca Stefanescu for her mixed media print on canvas, "Synchronicity" and Barbara Mierau-Klein for her digitally enhanced photograph, "Lady Prothea.”

The remaining finalists in the exhibition, including eight Honorable Mention winners – Julia Jenkins, Shabana Kauser, Seon Young Kim, Elzbieta Karnas, August Naude, Monique Sullivan, Peter Connolly, and Dan McCormack - all exemplified uniquely creative talents and we are honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.

The international competition received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world, including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Latvia, South Korea, Cyprus, Israel, Australia, Spain, Romania, Taiwan, Germany, Slovenia, Italy and South Africa. The exhibition will be featured on the Fusion Art website until October 31, 2017.

Each month and quarter Fusion Art hosts uniquely themed solo and group art competitions and exhibitions. Both winners and finalists are provided with worldwide exposure, by having their work promoted through Fusion Art’s website, in hundreds of press release announcements, email marketing, online event calendars, art news websites and through the gallery’s social media outlets. The gallery’s objective is to promote the artists, worldwide, to art professionals, gallerists, collectors and buyers.
