THE PORTRAIT

Entry Deadline | April 30, 2024

Exhibition Dates: June 15 - July 13, 2024

Juried by Layne Kennedy

"Making portraits is more than a physical form, it’s a silent communication in understanding and respect between the photographer and the subject. There’s an internal emotion and fire of the soul that you try to capture." – J. Grimes


In her book, Portraits and Persons, writer Cynthia Freeland describes three essential elements that constitute a portrait: “(1) a recognizable physical body (2) an inner life, i.e., some sort of psychological or mental states and (3) self-presentation, or the "posing.”
 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: revealing personal narratives or new anthologies through the artistic representation of the subject.

狂気の美

オープニング・ナイト・レセプション:5月21日(土)午後6時~8時
展示期間:2022年5月21日~6月4日

キュレーター |プラクシス・ディレクター

狂気 (精神疾患) は、私たち全員を怖がらせ、魅了するものです。これは、私たちが普遍的に知っている言葉ですが、人間の想像力をかき立てる言葉です。何世紀にもわたって、詩、散文、演劇、視覚芸術において、「狂気」はすべての人に見られてきました.
 

壊滅的な影響により、精神疾患は私たちの常識的な仮定を乱す可能性があります。日常生活に耐え難い混乱をもたらす。私たちの経験と期待をひっくり返します。それでも、この逆さまの世界観こそが、心の乱れから解放された人々には気づかれない、ユニークで独創的な視点の宇宙を開くのです。
 

Praxis Gallery は、葛藤やユーモア、フィクション、事実、またはその他の文字通りまたは一時的なレンズベースの調査など、メンタルヘルスに関連するアイデアを探求する写真アートを提示します。私たちは、精神的健康に関する従来の仮定に疑問を投げかけたり、「狂気の美しさ」を見ることができる人だけが見ることができる独自の視点を称賛する写真芸術を歓迎します.
