SELF at the NRCA Rotunda Gallery

SELF – an exhibit celebrating the art of the self portrait – is currently on view at the NRCA Rotunda Gallery at New Rochelle’s City Hall. The public is invited to the Artists Reception which will be held on Wednesday November 6, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm. The exhibit will run through November 29th.

Curated by NRCA’s Gallery Chair Lynn Honeysett, this exhibition explores the traditional self-portrait, which artists have always used to explore and practice technique, using themselves as handy and free models. Lynn Honeysett says “The portraits in SELF proclaim a definite point of view; we have a chance to see things through the artist's unique lens, ranging from a statement of identity to a passing mood.”

Honeysett says self-portraits are also very much forms of personal expression, announcing to the viewer “This is the lens I use to look at the world”: Our fascination is in the intriguing blend of intended and unconscious reveal as SELF’s artists journey through wonder, pain, perplexity, love -- and tussle with identity.”

Artists in the exhibit include Elinor Carruci, Patricia Fabricant , Camilla Fallon, Naomi Grossman, Barbara Karyo , Zahra Jlayer, Lindsey Miller , Kristin Osterberg , Laura Platt, Alexandra Rutsch-Brock, Susan Saas , Jim Singelis, and Patricia Stuart.

The NRCA Rotunda Gallery is located in New Rochelle’s City Hall at 515 North Avenue, and open to the public during regular business hours. SELF will be on exhibit until November 29th. For more information about NRCA visit www.newrochellearts.org.
