About this site...
- KELOWNA ART GALLERY
- Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada
- This blog has been set up to serve as a link between the Kelowna Art Gallery and the community. We define this community loosely, not just thinking of visitors to our gallery, but about those people interested in art anywhere on the planet. This is our 30th anniversary, and the theme of our celebratory exhibition of our permanent collection this fall is Nexus: histories and communities. We want to emphasize and bring out the links between the gallery (and its collection) with the community who supports it and cares about it.

Since physical attributes are only one part of a person, a portraiture should focus on more than just the anatomy of the head. The personality and spirituality of that person should be given much greater consideration than their appearance. Picasso often drew himself as a bull for that very reason.
yes! I think that now, anything at all can make a portrait. I could be sick into a big bowl and call it a self portrait. (mmmm) Then that could speak about my own self-image, the tortured and nervous artist's ego, or maybe i am bulemic... My friend took a nice photo of his dad's three corvettes and called it "the kids," although i suppose that one was more about the dad than the children. :) But faces are so endless in possibility and in reading. An interesting portrait of my face would be far more ambiguous in terms of interpretation than my barf bowl. :) But I guess my point is that I don't think there are any limits...
