Figures & Faces

Prospectus

J. Mane Gallery invites submissions for its Figures & Faces online juried art exhibition.  

Oscar Wilde said, "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."

Throughout history, the human figure has always been a common subject of visual art, involving the study and appreciation of it's beauty in it's depiction and presentation.  An awareness of the body shape, including postures like sitting, standing or sleeping and movements such as walking, running or dancing, speak to the ideal subject.

For this competition artists are encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of the human figure. The artwork can vary from realism to surrealism to abstraction. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best inspired  art and photography.
