I am preparing for a new body of work for my upcoming solo exhibition in the project room at The Painting Center, NYC. This series will feature portraits – head and shoulders mostly – inspired by the Selfie.

April 28 - May 23, 2026
Opening reception Thursday, April 30th.
The Painting Center
547 W 27th Street, 5th Floor, NYC

DO YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THE EXHIBITION?

I am looking for models from both my personal circle and the wider community who would like to participate by sending me a selfie, and trusting me with creative control over how I connect with it and how I paint the portrait.

These are not commissions – they are part of a larger exhibition and will be available for sale through The Painting Center and beyond on Artsy and possible future exhibitions. As a thank you, I am offering a signed print of the painting and, if I sell the painting, the model will receive 10% of the sale.

Selfies can be recent or older, as long as they reflect the spirit of the “selfie” era. Images may be creative or straightforward – I welcome your creativity in a head shot! I am happy to receive more than one selfie, (sometimes having another reference is helpful), but most likely I will only make one painting per model.

All adult humans (18+) are welcome – across ages, genders, identities, and backgrounds.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Head and shoulders only

• In focus and well lit so that facial features are clear

• Formatted as a JPG, resolution: 300

• Email to: perrineristudio@gmail.com

• Send before December 1st - THE EARLIER THE BETTER!
