Who we are, were we came from, whom we love, how we vote- all are increasingly volatile aspects of how our society defines us. When we draw the human figure, we are in a sense, always drawing ourselves as well. Upstream Gallery invites artists working in any medium except photography to submit work focused on the human figure that speaks to the idea of individual identity. All styles ranging from abstract to representational are welcome.
