Encounters

April 16, 2024 / May 7, 2023

Portraits can be considered historical documents—an impression of a particular person, details of dress, surroundings, of location—but they also provide a timeless glimpse into the sitter’s psychological interiority, making them very much alive in the present. The works in Encounters: Contemporary Portraits attest to the qualities of certain portraits to confront in their immediacy certain enduring questions centered around identity, and personal and collective memory.
