Work due for "Efforts at Imitation"

“Imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery – it’s the sincerest form of learning.” – G. B. Shaw

“Amateurs borrow, professionals steal.” – John Lennon (who apparently stole it from T. S. Eliot, who said “Amateur poets borrow; mature poets steal.”)

For this exhibition, the Exchange gallery will showcase artwork that mimics the look of famous works of art or is created in the style of a well-known artist. You may make an earnest attempt to recreate a masterpiece, or a parody of one, or put a new spin on an old classic, or any other interpretation.

Show runs Monday, July 28th, through Friday, September 5th

Reception Friday, August 1st
