2nd Annual Photography Exhibition
Photography 2011: Portraiture, Now – Dec. 14.
Delta Center for the Arts L.H. Horton Jr. Gallery presents the Second Annual Photography Exhibition and Awards Competition - Photography 2011: Portraiture, Nov. 17 – Dec. 14.
Each year the Photography Exhibition presents photographic works in both analogue and digital formats, with a specific focus or theme. This national exhibition features 15 photographers and 30 images exploring portraiture in a variety of styles and social-cultural context.
Generally, portraiture is an artistic representation of a person in which the face and expression is usually the primary focus. The intent is to capture the likeness and personality of the person sitting for a portrait. The works in this exhibition, however, stretch the traditional definition of portraiture to bring viewers deeper into the personality of the person. Subjects are often viewed in full figure; some are viewed with their face obscured. Many of the exhibited photographs are more reflective of figurative works, where styles range from completely realistic figures to abstract works used to tell a story, relay an emotional state or conceptual thought.
