In this age of selfies, how do we dig deeper? Does anybody know you as well as you know yourself?
For our June 2018 Gallery exhibit “Who Am I?”…we’re inviting artists to represent themselves in ‘unique self-portraits.’ Who better to interpret you as art but yourself? From traditional self-portrait to abstract representations of self. Look deep and show us who you are, or who you want to be… or perhaps how you believe others see or experience you. What colors, shapes, words best describe you?
Sculptural and 3D pieces are welcome.
Contemporary, expressionistic, abstract, exploratory, and/or experimental entries encouraged.
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts emphasizes the creative process and the continued pursuit of meaning and authenticity through observation, exploration, and experimentation.
Below are some diverse examples of self-portraits.

“The reason some portraits don’t look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures.” ― Salvador Dalí
