An exploration of the myriad of ways in which artists depict light and dark, shadows and shade - from the literal to the metaphorical.

Will this opportunity suit you?

Artists working in 2D or 3D media - including but not limited to painting, drawing, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, etching, lino cuts, textiles and limited edition photography - are welcome to submit.

Reproduction prints (e.g. giclée), digital artwork and NFTs are not accepted.

There is no size limit for artworks, however I ask that all works are priced under £2,000.

Please note that your work does not need to be posted unless it is sold; the buyer’s details will be provided to you so you can dispatch work directly to them.

You will need to provide a postage cost up front so that you can be reimbursed for this - if you need assistance to figure our how much to charge for p&p, you can use the Post Office postage finder tool: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/postage-finder/ 

This is a selling exhibition via a virtual space on the BobCat Gallery website between 6th - 31st October 2025.
