Portraiture

Animal Portraiture Open, International Open Call

Submit your art and photography animal portraits. There are so many styles of animal portraiture in the world now, show us yours! We are especially happy when a portrait tells us something about the animal. This could be anything from their personality to their favorite food. Something as simple as the angle of a collar or whether or not a lion's mane is perfectly groomed can give hints about the subject of your art or photography.

We are looking for 2D and 3D artwork and photography that falls into a variety of art style and genre categories: Abstraction, Portraiture, Surrealism, Realism, Pop Art, Expressionism, Assemblage, and more!

Portraiture

Portraiture is one of the most iconic and consistently revisited subjects in art. Since the beginning of civilization, artists have been consumed with the desire to capture the likeness of their fellow human as well as their own. From da Vinci, to Kahlo, to Picasso, to Kehinde Wiley to name just a few of the many famous artists for whom portraiture was a staple in their practice, portraits are not only a way of recording the features and personalities of a subject, they are also a look into the greater collective cultural paradigm.
