4th Annual CityscapesArt ExhibitionJune 2019

Welcome to Fusion Art’s 4th Annual Cityscapes International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of June 2019.

For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography depicting Cityscapes. The theme included any art which depicted cities, towns, urban scenes and/or any related metropolitan subjects. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best art and photography.

We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Denmark, India, Italy and Greece.

In this monthly themed exhibition, due to limited 3-Dimensional entries, Fusion Art presents awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Digital Art & Photography. The Cityscapes Best in Show winners are Raymond Sammak for his acrylic on canvas, “Midtown” and Athalie Taylor for her photography/digital art, “Suburban Street”. Both Raymond and Athalie are Fusion Art’s Featured Artists for the month of June 2019 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art’s 4th Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in 2020.

Other award winners include Second Place winners, Michael Manente for his oil on canvas, “Off Bush” and Ilona Surrey for her digital photo manipulation, “Scape”. Third Place awards were given to John Jaster for his acrylic on canvas, “Mainstreet Manti” and Brandi Foster for her digital photograph, “Stroll”.

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we’re honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.

Fusion Art strives to create interesting and enjoyable art exhibitions with a variety of artistic styles and media represented. The art that is selected is based on the theme of the exhibition and the gallery’s objective is to include, in every Fusion Art exhibition, a broad representation of quality, style, media, creativity, originality and artistic composition. Art tells a story and we strive to select artwork, particularly for awards, that make the viewer think and wonder what story the artist is trying to tell.

As always, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist’s talent and/or skill.  It takes courage for artists to offer up one’s art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.

For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. You will find the artist’s website and/or email information below their work.
