Juror’s Statement:

“When selecting the art work for ANJE IV, I initially considered strong visual aesthetics. ‘Aesthetics’ being such a subjective consideration, I had to come up with an additional rubric to more objectively define what it is that made me choose one art work over another. After my initial curiosity of each visually striking art piece, I looked closer at the artists' other images to ensure their work appears to be consistently on a path: technically, conceptually and skillfully. Once these elements were confirmed through long periods of more detailed observations of each image, I felt capable of making final decisions.”

“It was a difficult decision to make due to the size limitation of the show, but I am honored to have participated in such a wonderful competition and gallery program. All of the artists that submitted work should be proud of the art they are producing and their contributions to the creative world.”
