“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Welcome to Fusion Art’s 4th Annual Into the Wild International Online Juried Art Exhibition.
For its 20th quarterly art exhibition Fusion Art invited both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography depicting wildlife. The wildlife theme included any undomesticated animal species including any wild mammal, wild fish, wild bird or wild reptile. The work could range from realism to surrealism to abstraction and all artists, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best representational or abstract wildlife art and photography.
We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world, including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Belgium, the Netherlands and South Africa. Overall, the gallery judged 341 entries and accepted 139 artworks into the exhibition, which will be featured on the website for 3 months starting on March 15, 2022.
In this quarterly themed exhibition, Fusion Art presents awards in three categories: Traditional Art, Photography & Digital Art, and 3-Dimensional Art. The Into the Wild Best in Show winners are Annik Janssens for her pastel, “Hope”, Elizabeth Kayl for her photograph, ” Sunset Sentinel” and Douglas Aja for his bronze, “Tim”. As the Best in Show winners, Annik, Elizabeth and Douglas are invited to participate in Fusion Art’s Annual Group Show in Santa Fe, NM in 2023.

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we’re honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.
Fusion Art strives to create interesting and enjoyable art exhibitions with a variety of artistic styles and media represented. The art that is selected is based on the theme of the exhibition and the gallery’s objective is to include, in every Fusion Art exhibition, a broad representation of quality, style, media, creativity, originality and artistic composition. Art tells a story and we strive to select artwork, particularly for awards, that make the viewers think and wonder what story the artist is trying to tell.
As always, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist’s talent and/or skill. It takes courage for artists to offer up one’s art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.
For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. You will find the artist’s website and/or email information below their work.
Please visit our YouTube Archives and/or our YouTube Channel starting on March 21st to see the Traditional, Photography & Digital and 3-Dimensional videos for the exhibition.
