Rarely is a contemporary artists work seen in print for what it is: art. Volume 8 is releasing in hardcover format, elevating the artwork that is presented. Art's purpose is to make you think, feel, or become aware of. Volume 8 encourages this type of contemplation, featuring 25 artists from a variety of countries including the US, UK, and Germany. These artists work in a variety of mediums including collage, painting, photography and sculpture. In this volume, we particularly focus on the figure and how it might be seen throughout these mediums. Additionally there will be interviews giving an in-depth look into the studio practices of selected artists. Volume 8 was juried by the FOA staff and guest jurors Bethanie Irons, Martin Mayorga, Vanessa Murrell, and Taylor O. Thomas.
