Welcome to Fusion Art’s 6th Annual Black & White International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of February 2022.
For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography using black & white & the nuanced shades in between. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best work in any media.
We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world, including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Bulgaria, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Thailand and the Netherlands. Overall, the gallery judged 467 entries and accepted 175 artworks into the exhibition, which will be featured on the website for the month of February.
In this monthly themed exhibition, Fusion Art presents awards in three categories: Traditional Art, Photography & Digital Art, and 3-Dimensional Art. The Black & White Best in Show winners are Maxwell Miller for his charcoal, “Self Portrait”, Shelley Benjamin for her digital photograph, “Gold Dredge” and Péter Borkovics for his fused and ground glass, “Rotating Square 3”. Maxwell, Shelley and Péter are Fusion Art’s Featured Artists for the month of February 2022 and, as the Best in Show winners, all three artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art’s Annual Group Show in Santa Fe, New Mexico 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 or our YouTube Channel starting on February 8th to see the slide show compilation videos for the exhibition.
Thank you for visiting our website and enjoy the exhibition!
