The exhibition theme is: Portraits.
EAP project invites artists from all over the world to submit their Artworks for our first collective exhibition of experimental and alternative photography.
The purpose of our Portraits exhibition is to celebrate, promote, and reaffirm the art of handcrafted prints that uniquely belong to the tradition of light sensitive creative processes.
A portrait is more than just a picture of a person.
When captured by a talented and creative artist, a portrait conveys both the physical resemblance of someone and their psychological inner life.
Portraits capture a person at a moment in time and preserve their memory.
Whether representational or creatively interpreted, a portrait that is intended to last expresses a person’s character and emotion that engages the viewer.
Exhibition: Each photographer (hereafter “Artist”) can:
• submit one piece of Artwork for exhibition (hereafter “Artwork”). Hand-delivered or shipped.
• send up to 5 images (hereafter “Images”) via wetransfer, exhibition Artwork included.
These images will used for the catalogue. Same theme (portrait), also created with different processes.
