Thanks for the question, I think it also appeared on the avant-garde season, and my reply is the same as then: the work must be MOSTLY bidimensional and presented to be seen frontally. It can have objects stuck on them or even sculpted parts as long as it's a frontally presented and mostly bidimensional work. In other words, I'll be lenient here, but use your common sense. If I receive a submission that I consider to stretch the definition of a painting way too much I'll simply ask you to submit something else. But it must stretch it way too much. For instance, remember that I allowed this Wesselmann painting:
The curtains, corn cob and piece of butter are all sculpted objects, but, to me, the work is still mostly bidimensional and meant to be seen frontally, as a painting, and not to walk around it, as a sculpture ETA: something that's entirely in relief wouldn't be allowed either, despite being frontal). Speaking of which, LOL, I've bee thinking for a while about a possible, and possibly one-off, Sculptor Idol![]()
