Face to Face II: Group Exhibition

Portraiture has always been a pillar of art history, taking different forms throughout its development: from the Egyptian statues of pharaohs to the Hellenic busts of Greek gods, from the Renaissance frescos of patrons to the Flemish paintings of peasants, from Rococo's depictions of marquises to Lucien Freud's impasto works all the way to Warhol's screen-prints. The dawn of the 21st century seems to have allowed Portraiture to free itself from standardised canons and traditional conventions, opening up a new chapter of this artistic current, prompting today's artists to explore the genre in an even more independent and unique manner.
