FAA member artists are invited to submit entries for an exhibit at our gallery in downtown Frankfort inside Studio C.

14 Hickory Street #14B

Frankfort, IL 60423

Inspired by the Disrupted Realism art movement, this exhibit will feature work that deviates from traditional realism to include and express the artist's subjective perception.

“Disrupted realism is a term that describes works of art made by artists who have deviated from the norms of realism. These deviations, which may include one or more formal elements – such as line, form, and color – are made intentionally, often through improvisation, to serve expressive purposes. By “disrupting” and expanding the tradition of realism, artists may suggest time, memory, and individual experience or refer to digital, photographic, or cinematic sources. It is a subjective approach to painting that favors perception over seeing and embraces subjectivity.” from Disrupted Realism, Paintings for a Distracted World by John Seed.
