Art Calls Boomer Gallery CFE: Dreams & Nightmares

Boomer Gallery London, England, United Kingdom

Boomer Gallery

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: October 5, 2024 – This exhibition aims to unearth the profound connections between the subconscious dream world and the pulsating, sometimes harrowing heartbeat of artistic creation, offering a sanctuary for reflection, resonance, and perhaps, revelation.

Could dreams and nightmares be the potent driving force behind our creative processes, the mysterious catalysts igniting the flame of artistic inspiration? A significant number of artists affirm this belief wholeheartedly.

The 4th Edition of this exhibition will be curated by a renowned figure in the art world, someone many of you are familiar with both from the broader art scene and as the Editor-in-Chief of our art magazine, Mr. Anthony Fawcett.
