Impossible Portraits | Feb 14 -Mar 7, 2026

Impossible Portraits

Following the inquiries raised in The Curators, IMUR Gallery presents Impossible Portraits, an exhibition that unsettles how we see, define, and interpret identity.

Moving beyond likeness, the works in this show treat portraiture as a field of memory, perception, and psychological depth — where the self is not fixed, but layered, shifting, and emotionally charged. If curation is an act of framing vision, Impossible Portraits asks us to consider what lies beyond the frame: the invisible, the fragmented, and the truths that resist being pinned down.

We invite you to look beyond the surface and reflect on how we are seen, how we feel, and how we exist in between.

Curatorial Statement

Impossible Portraits reimagines the boundaries of identity and representation. This group exhibition brings together artists who explore portraiture beyond traditional form—through abstraction, distortion, and experimental media. These works challenge the idea of a fixed self, capturing the essence of identity as layered, shifting, and emotionally charged.

Rather than offering likeness, the portraits delve into memory, perception, and inner complexity. Each piece invites reflection on the fluid, fragmented nature of being—how we are seen, how we feel, and how we exist beyond the surface.

This exhibition is a meditation on the invisible, the psychological, and the impossible-to-pin-down truths of who we are.
