Contemporary Portraiture

How has the image of self, or portraiture changed over the past fifty, hundred years? Or has it?  How are artists using new techniques/technology to develop and manipulate how we see one another, and ourselves? How has identity developed/changed (in terms of portraiture).  Has the selfie replaced/added/changed how we look at portraiture? Or has it given us permission to explore our idiosyncratic self.  

Pittsburgh Seen is currently accepting submissions that explore Contemporary Portraiture in all its many facets. All disciplines welcomed. 

We are a multi-platform online gallery supporting/promoting early to mid-career artists via thematic exhibitions.

Exhibiting artists are featured/promoted via website, social media, and pop-up exhibitions worldwide and have the opportunity for studio visits via Zoom from Pittsburgh Seen and its curators. All artists must be over 21 years of age and not currently enrolled in an undergraduate program to exhibit.

Our Curator

Our curator is Dr. Isaac King who received his PhD in art history from the University of Pittsburgh and a matching MA from the University of Arizona. He specializes in American portraiture with a focus on how artistic approaches to “authenticity” and “likeness” have changed over time in relation to expanding markets, new representational technologies, and shifting concepts of identity. He has taught art history for over a decade at a variety of institutions and is currently serving as a Curator of American Art at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art.
