Face It: Contemporary Portraiture
This exhbiition features original artwork by artists from around the country, as well as local main stays. The juried competition was open to artists from all media and backgrounds. Dr. Carl Gombert, Associate Professor of Maryville College was selected as the sole Juror for the exhibition. Gombert’s own artwork is largely focused on the genre of portraiture, making him an ideal choice in juror.
“Face It: Contemporary Portraiture” includes paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, and digital artworks that deal with the human form as their primary subject matter. Often overlooked in a world awash in digital cameras that instantly reproduce a subject’s likeness, portraiture is one of arts oldest traditions. The artists selected for this exhibition have found new and interesting ways of relating to their subjects through the process of creating their works.
The exhibition, which was organized by Three Flights Up will be hosted by the UT Downtown Gallery in their exhibition space.
A reception will held at UT Downtown Gallery on First Friday August 7 from 6-9pm.
