Delving into the complicated multiplicities of self-perception and identity, this exhibition presents a selection of innovative painted self-portraits by modern and contemporary artists from Aotearoa New Zealand.
The self-portraits on display offer a wide range of perspectives—from bold studio depictions and imaginative self-aggrandizement to vulnerable reflections on the realities of aging and self-scrutiny, as well as articulations of the complex interrelationships that frame identity.
Each self-portrait encapsulates the unique perspectives that artists bring to the understanding of our own humanity.
