In the Community Room –

An exhibition of revealing self portraits by artists
CURIEL, Ross Grundler, Dawn Harrison, Yvonne Obregon, Jesse Owens, Marilyn Rudoff, Joshua M. San Nicolas, Sarah Spinks, Molly Taylor, Trish Vernazza and Carol Zaleski.

Self portraiture is an important part of an artist’s journey but among the hardest subjects to actually do. How well do we know ourselves? What do we want to be seen by others? The practice of self representation on a surface deepens our creative innervision and our relationship with ourselves. The artists in this show are bravely willing to invite us to see who they think they are.

Artists have been painting themselves for centuries.Painting, photographs and new technologies have expanded the ways portraits have been captured. Are the images serious, representational, and humorous or do they tell a story? Do you immediately recognize the subject? True self portraits are not selfies. They take time and effort and an offer opportunity to experiment with new techniques. And importantly, it is a way to know the self better. The art in this show are surprising renditions of people you may know covering a broad range of mediums.
