GEOMETRIC: Shapes, symmetry, & repeating patterns

Description

GEOMETRIC
A Juried Virtual Art Exhibition

CEV Art Gallery invites artists to submit original artwork for Geometric, a juried virtual art exhibition exploring the visual language of shapes, symmetry, and repeating patterns.

Geometric art uses precise forms such as circles, squares, triangles, lines, angles, grids, and other geometric structures to create organized, balanced, and often non-representational visual designs.
Artists are encouraged to explore the relationship between form, structure, color, space, rhythm, and repetition, creating artwork that communicates order, balance, movement, or visual harmony.

THEME
Shapes | Symmetry | Repeating Patterns
Geometric artwork may explore:
- Geometric shapes and forms
- Circles, squares, triangles, lines, and angles
- Symmetry and balance
- Grids and structured compositions
- Tessellations
- Repeating patterns
- Mathematical or architectural forms
- Repetition and visual rhythm
- Abstract geometric compositions
- Color relationships within geometric structures
- Spatial relationships and dimensional forms

CORE CHARACTERISTICS
Focus on Form
Geometric art strips away or minimizes realistic subject matter to emphasize lines, angles, shapes, colors, proportions, and spatial relationships.
Mathematical Foundation
Artists may incorporate symmetry, grids, tessellations, repetition, proportion, and structured patterns to create visually organized compositions.
Order & Rhythm
Geometric artwork can communicate a sense of order, rhythm, balance, precision, and visual harmony through the deliberate arrangement of shapes and patterns.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We welcome both strictly abstract geometric artwork and representational work in which geometry plays a significant visual role.
Artists are encouraged to consider how shapes, symmetry, repetition, color, scale, and spatial relationships can transform a composition into something visually compelling.
The strongest submissions should demonstrate a clear and intentional use of geometric principles rather than simply containing incidental shapes or patterns.
