Welcome to the February 2009 Exhibition of Surreal and Imagination inspired art on House of Scratch. This month’s exhibition offers a wide range of mediums,  this time including illustration, graphic art and sculpture of the mixed media assemblage style. The techniques are strong and distinct, with expressions ranging from intense and dramatic to warm, humourous and fun. We also detect some classic influences by artists like Salvador Dali, William Blake, and Katsushika Hokusai, giving the show a timeless feel.

Now it is up to you, the viewer, to pick the artist(s) whose work you believe should be considered the “Best of the Best” in the exhibition. Take some time and view the entire show, then scroll to the end of the post and fill out our “Best of the Best” Survey.  Based on your informed opinion and those of the House of Scratch team, one artist will be designated “Best of the Best”, awarded a $50 cash prize and offered a spot in our first ever physical gallery group exhibition, as well as a special page on House of Scratch showcasing their artworks! Good luck to everyone!

Applications for the March 2009 Exhibition are now being accepted. To apply, click here!

Now that you’ve seen the show, House of Scratch wants to make you an Honourary Juror to help us pick the artist most deserving of the “Best of the Best” designation.  We’ve designed a survey which allows you to select three artists you believe deserve consideration for this title, as well as the reasoning behind your choices.

When the inaugural House of Scratch Physical Group Exhibition is launched, we want to bring together those artists whose work has prompted positive feedback from the online community.

Thank you for visiting House of Scratch! Come back as often as you like to see how your favourite artist is doing.

Good luck to everyone.

The Jurors…
