Fusion Art is pleased to announce the opening of the 6th Annual Figures & Faces 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 exhibition, both 2D and 3D artists, worldwide, were invited to submit their best art and photography depicting animals, both domestic and wild. All artists, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their work in any media.

The 6th Annual Figures & Faces Best in Show winners are Brian McClear for his oil on canvas, “Justine”, Brian Cann for his digital photograph, "Networking #3” and Naihui Chen for his copper sculpture, "Angel”. Brian, Brian and Naihiu are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of September 2020 and, as the Best in Show winners, all three artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 6th Annual Group Show in Palm Springs, California in 2021.

Honorable Mention awards in the Photography & Digital category were given to Katrina Brye, Kevin Kemp, Paul M. Murray, Elina Akselrud, Barbara Mierau-Klein and Shelley Benjamin.

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, Germany, China, France, Bulgaria, Japan, Malaysia, India, Poland, Romania, the Netherlands and South Africa. Overall, the gallery judged 603 entries and accepted 199 artworks into the exhibition, which will be featured on the website for the month of September.

Founded by Award winning artist, Chris and Valerie Hoffman, Fusion Art was envisioned and formed out of a passion for art and the artists who create it. The website promotes and connects new, emerging and established artists with collectors and art enthusiasts, while offering the opportunity to participate in art competitions, exhibitions and experiences.

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.
