Omnia Scroll – International Art Collaborative Exhibitions

The Omnia Scroll is an international collaborative art project created by UK artist Penelope Oakley, involving annual exhibitions and a Collaborative Scroll.

The Omnia Scroll will be a continually increasing collaborative work of art from artists throughout the world, based on the idea that everything is connected.

 

The collaborative exhibitions explore interconnectedness with each other and the planet where we live.

 

Below, I give information on the first Omnia Scroll Exhibition in Brighton, UK and how you can apply for consideration for future exhibitions.

 

 

What does the Omnia Scroll mean?

 

The curator being inspired by and fascinated with ancient wisdoms, science, quantum physics, philosophy and spirituality. The untangible mysteries and invisible connections that merge, from the undiscovered depths of our oceans, of nature, the stars with each other and ourselves. Embracing the connections and similarities of ancient wisdoms and quantum physics. The theme of the exhibition to promote positive connections and explore the visual interpretations of each artist, in doing so increasing connections to a wider audience and to each other.

 

Omnia Scroll Collaborative Artwork from International Artists

The actual Omnia Scroll will be a collaborative artwork comprised of the art of all exhibitors. Prints of the art works will be transferred to fabric panels, and the individual art work will become part of an ever changing collaborative piece from artists throughout the world. This will be a physical manifestation of the original theme - EVERYTHING IS ALIVE, EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED. This collaboration piece will be exhibited annually along with the original artworks from each artist.

From each original exhibited work of art, a print will be created and transferred onto fabric
panels - each artwork creating and becoming a piece of a whole new one. As each exhibition takes place and grows so does The Omnia Scroll - one piece of art, many artists creations, continually evolving.

Many artists are joining the Ominia Scroll for different exhibitions. Currently, three artists from Canada are collaborating: Bert Monterona in BC (http://bertmonterona.com/main/index.html), Teresa Young (http://www.teresa-young.net), and Leon Soriano in Toronto ( http://www.leonsorianoart.com/ )
