Fusion Art is pleased to announce the opening of the 4th Annual Colorful Abstractions International Art Exhibition. The exhibition is now available for viewing on the Fusion Art website and features awards in three categories: Traditional Art, Digital Art & Photography and 3-Dimensional Art.

For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best interpretation of the the "Colorful Abstractions" theme by submitting their best nonobjective or nonrepresentational art. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best abstract art and photography.

The Colorful Abstractions Best in Show winners are Barbara Mosher for her mixed media, “Lipstick on His Collar", Mac Titmus for his digital photograph, "Return to the Source" and Marlene Siff for her acrylic on linen, "Elegy." Barbara, Mac and Marlene are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of October 2018 and, as the Best in Show winners, all three artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 3rd Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in February 2019.

Other award winners include Second Place winners, Julia Hamilton for her mixed media painting, "Zydeco", Bette Ann Levine for her digital photograph on acrylic, "Crowded Boardwalk," and Stephanie Robison for her marble, wood and paint, "Hookup".

The remaining finalists in the exhibition 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, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Philippines, China, Ireland and Italy. The exhibition will be featured on the Fusion Art website for the month of October 2018.

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.
