SoJie 6 Nomination…
Thanks to Fran Moore for setting up this web ring to view all exhibitors.
![]() Theoretical Despair by Gary Nolan | ![]() Join me at the Juried Invitational Exhibition… |
I am very excited to have my art selected, from over 43000 works of art, to exhibit in SoJie 6. SoJie 6 takes its name from the Solo Exhibition group’s Juried Invitational Exhibition. This month is only the 6th one, ever, and 62 other artists, besides myself, are represented.
Winners of the invitational will be announced on September 1st, when a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded in three categories: digital art, photography, and traditional art.
Non members, as well as members, ARE welcome to view all of the work nominated. So I hope that you will click the show banner, above, and follow the link to view my fellow exhibitors. The works are shown “gallery size” and are beautiful, seen together.
If you do not belong to the group, Solo Exhibition, you cannot participate in commenting; and joining to comment is not encouraged. But you CAN lend support by commenting in my journal, here, about the show.
THIS JOURNAL IS ALSO PART OF A WEB RING. You can also follow other artists involved, by clicking on the WEB RING BADGE below. You don’t need to be a member of Solo Exhibition to show your support, this web ring is especially for non members! Thank you!

Welcome to the SoJie 6 Web Ring, Gary!
It’s great to see you here, and in the exhibition space. “Theoretical Despair” is a wonderful combination of “old” and new. Scientific maps, a Corinthian column, sepia tones, and the theatrical pose of despair, all work together for a classical feel. Yet, the model ties us to the present. Science, itself, is refreshing to see as a contemplative subject, even if it is an elusive one; even if it is used symbolically to point to matters involving the deep space of conscious, as it is in “Theoretical Despair”.
Congratulations, Gary, on your nomination by Rosemary Scott, and on your exhibit in SoJie 6.
All the best,
—Frannie

Congratulations!!! At first I thought the title said Theatrical Despair and I thought, “How appropriate!” She is definitely being dramatic!! Then upon further observation I saw that the title was “Theoretical Despair”, ahh now I understand the rest of the image! Wonderful work!!
gnolan:
Thanks. Yeah, the titles just get in the way – a phony guidepost and crutch in my opinion. All the best.
