Sam Dobrow Receives Two New Awards for Recent Artwork

Biafarin Network

I’ve submitted new works to several curated exhibits on the Biafarin network and received two additional selections for the exhibits.

Protectorate of Humanity Curated for Spirituality Exhibition

In addition to being curated for the Spirituality Collection, Protectorate of Humanity has been curated for the Legacy Exhibit at the Grimandi Art Gallery in Manhattan from November 1-30. Gallerium organized, curated, promoted and published the Spirituality call for art below:

Gallerium is pleased to invite you to apply to Spirituality 2023, a dual exhibition and publication to awaken the spiritual dimensions of art.

Spirituality and religion may seem hard to tell apart; however, there are firm differences. Spirituality is a broad concept that includes various perspectives, including religious ones.

Psychology and neuroscience consider spiritual experiences as the brain state in higher consciousness that is accessible to all, regardless of being religious or not. In general, Spirituality is a sense of connectedness to something bigger than ourselves and a holistic perspective for bringing meaning and purpose to life and living in peace together.

In visual arts, Spirituality explores the deeper dimensions of human existence, seeking to connect with the universe and explore existential questions. Through symbolism, abstraction, and contemplative aesthetics, spiritual artworks evoke a sense of awe, introspection, and inner transformation.

Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe, Wassily Kandinsky, Yayoi Kusama, Anish Kapoor, Marina Abramovic, and many other artists have spoken of art as a gateway to the spiritual realm and felt the channeling energy and connectedness to divine through art. They sought to express the inexpressible, unveil the mysteries of the cosmos, and capture the invisible threads that connect us to the universe.

The submitted artworks can visualize spirituality in many ways. They may capture the serenity of a place of worship or peaceful landscape, delve into spiritual states and poses, depict portraits of gurus and leaders, demonstrate the magnificence of rituals and costumes, display sacred books and texts, explore a journey to self-discovery, encompass spiritual dreams, signs, and symbols, or express Spirituality in modern life.
