Touching Beach by Casey Shannon
Painting judge was Sungsook Setton.
Judging Criteria by the judge:
“As the juror for the Sumi-e Society’s annual juried show (painting section), I will be looking for three key elements- -vitality, simplicity, and spontaneity. Vitality is expressed through strong brush strokes which convey a sense of qi (energy). Simplicity puts an emphasis on moving beyond external form, capturing instead the essence of the subject matter through one’s own unique style; relatedly, within any composition, negative space is just as important as positive space. As for spontaneity, a painter’s abilities are most readily seen through ink tonality--the
ability to strike harmonious balance between different shades of ink, or between ink and color.”
