Ohio Art League member artists explore the traditional theme of portrait artwork or artistic representation of a person expressed through painting, drawing or another medium commonly created in two-dimensional artwork. Portrait works represent a specific person, a group of people, or an animal. Portraits usually show what a person looks like as well as revealing something about the subject's personality. The history of portraiture dates back to Egyptian portraitures in 2350 B.C.E. and continues throughout the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Rome to European royalty; portrait remains a subject throughout modern and contemporary art.
The following Ohio Art Legeague member artists will display their portrait art in Portrait: Art Beery, Virginia Burroughs, Emily Cable, Nancy Fisher, Jaime Hesper, Nicholas Hill, Christin Hutchinson, Carrie Nasset, Ryan Roth, Boryana Rusenova, Laura Sanders, Francis Schanberger, Jenny Scranton and Melissa Smith. The Ohio Art League is a membership-based non-profit visual arts organization. The Ohio Art League office and gallery space are located at 954 North High Street, in Columbus Ohio’s Short North Arts District, serving over 600 artists providing exhibition and professional development opportunities to enrich the community. The arts organization was created through the Columbus Art Students League in 1909 and has affected Ohio artists for almost 100 years, including celebrated artists Alice Schille, Roy Lichtenstein, Emerson Burkhart, and George Bellows.
