Open Call – STRANGE FIGURES

Deadline: 31 October 2025
www.lumenart.gallery/open-callsFrom the depths of imagination, forms emerge — distorted, mysterious, and strangely human. Strange Figures invites artists to 

explore the borders between reality and invention, the seen and the sensed.

Whether born from myth, dream, or memory, these figures carry fragments of ourselves — our fears, desires, and untold stories. They may appear grotesque or graceful, surreal or symbolic, yet each reveals a truth hidden beneath the surface.

We welcome submissions in Painting, Drawing, Illustration, Photography, Digital Art, Sculpture, and Ceramics that challenge perception and expand the language of the human form.

let your figures speak the unspeakable — and show us what lies beyond the familiar face of humanity.
