Beyond the Surface: Abstract Portraiture

Step into a world where the human form meets the boundless realm of abstraction. This curation invites you to explore the multifaceted spectrum of human emotion and identity through the lens of abstract portraiture. This captivating assembly of artworks transcends conventional representations, offering a kaleidoscope of colours, textures, and brushstrokes that convey a profound depth of feeling.

Curated by Christina McDonald

These artworks are painted onto a wooden panel and then transfered onto a preprepared canvas. As the image is pressed & transferred onto the canvas only some of the paintings information is retained, this process can be done multiple times until the image is eventually lost. This technique can evoke both happiness and sorrow, as it reminds us that our memories are fleeting and cannot be preserved indefinitely. Nevertheless, it is precisely this fleeting nature that makes our present experiences so valuable. We must cherish each moment as it happens, without any assurance of what the future may hold.
