Resist explores resist techniques while preserving the unique individualistic style of each artist.

Resist – an art technique that uses several layers to expose or define a design in negative space. Resistant substances are applied as a coating to protect a surface during some process, e.g. prevent dye adhering. Resist can be created using wax, crayons, inks, paints, pastel/oil sticks, tape, masks, paper cutouts, stencils, stickers, glue, medium, flour paste, crackle paste, and/or fabric that is bound, scrunched, clamped, etc.

Resist can be artistic, positive, negative, frightening or enlightening…..to stand firm or hold out (against), not yield (to), fight (against). To resist something such as change – you refuse to accept it and try to prevent it…..resist temptation of…..couldn’t resist teasing or laughing at……

Each piece must incorporate one or more resist techniques and may be a play on words but the visual predominance of the resist technique is a requirement.

Please note this is a curated show and any artwork received not conforming to the requirements will be disallowed and returned to the artist.
