Abstract Sur-Real

Is it possible for a portrait to be abstract? What defines a portrait: the clarity of every detail captured in a photograph or can abstraction obscure recognizable features? What about the surreal, the real, and the interplay with three-dimensional space? This exhibition seeks to explore the multifaceted nature of portraiture through lenses of abstraction, surrealism, realism, and spatial depth.

Spanning the evolution of photography, from abstract portraiture to surrealism and realism, this exhibition will juxtapose diverse works, engaging in a dialogue with work by Franck Godefroy and Joliet Morrill. While traditional photographs will adorn the walls, our focus extends beyond the confines of two-dimensional prints. We seek photographs that transcend boundaries, incorporating mixed media. Feel free to interpret this how you please. Mixed media prints are not required.

This call invites submissions from across the spectrum. We welcome striking portraits brimming with emotion, enigmatic photographs that challenge viewers to discern their subjects, and portraits that push the boundaries of human form, embracing surreal elements.


Join us in redefining the essence of portraiture and exploring the endless possibilities of visual storytelling.
