About the Theme:

​

Throughout history, artists have been captivated by the challenge and beauty of portraying the human likeness and identity. In BFF (Modern Portraits), we aim to capture the essence of today’s interpretations of portraiture, where personal expression intersects with the evolving concept of identity. From evocative abstract depictions to detailed hyperrealism, this exhibition invites diverse and creative approaches to the timeless art form.

​

Central to the exhibition is the idea of scale. The works do not exceed 12 inches (30 cm) in any direction. This deliberate choice in size seeks to create a viewing experience that emphasizes closeness and personal interaction. By showcasing smaller works, viewers are invited to engage intimately with the art—leaning in to discover details and feeling the connection that mirrors our interactions with one another in daily life. The small scale symbolizes the modern digital realm where significant interactions often occur in close, handheld proximity, reflecting the exhibition’s title, BFF (Modern Portraits), inspired by the informal, immediate nature of today’s digital communication.
