Halloween Art Exhibition : Midnight Oils III – Reception

RECEPTION - MIDNIGHT OILS III - Mills Pond House Gallery invites artists to submit works ranging from the macabre to the whimsical. We are looking for works that celebrate the awesome power of art as a spiritual instrument that helps man transcend its primeval fear of death and of the unknown. We are interested in works that portray frightening subject matters in a philosophic, romantic, or humorous light.
Juror: Alain K. Khadem

ALAIN K. KHADEM is a digital artist specializing in vanitas art. This rather morbid art form marries well with the spirit of Halloween, because it often portrays skulls, snuffed candles, rotting food and other macabre objects which are designed to trigger in the viewer's mind an acute awareness of the brevity of life and the inevitability of death.
