The Portrait Show

14-19 April, 2015

Private View: Thursday 16 April 6-9pm
A classic subject is given a contemporary twist as twelve established artists give their interpretation of the word ‘Portrait’. At times intimate and unexpected, the works capture the unplanned moment; a fleeting thought that changes the expression, the vulnerability of the sleeping figure, abstractions that hint at flesh and sensuallity.

Exhibiting artists: Pedro Baztan, Eleanor Buffam, Helen Campbell, Laurence Causse-Parsley, Marianne Frank, Sal Jones, Jill Meager, Maureen Nathan, Gail Olding, Gianluca Pisano, Jenny Price, Rossella Spoto. Curated by Jill Meager & Helen Campbell.
