"Portrait : Figuré et Défiguré"

Portrait : Figuré et Défiguré is a series of commissioned portraits where each of the seven selected artists represent their subjects in a unique style and manner.

Throughout history, people have been represented through their faces; where emotions and expressions are predominant.

For this exhibition, a group of outstanding, talented artists were selected to create portraits each representing a subject of their own choice. Whether the portrait is the farthest extent of abstraction, follows an idealised artistic convention or the individual features of the subject, its true value lies not in appearance but the ability to portray the inner essence and significance of the subject; that which constitutes true reality.
