Portrait of the ArtistExplore the ways in which artists interpret themselves and the world around them through portraiture. Each of the works in this exhibition features an artist as the subject, using both literal representations as well as more nuanced interpretations. Cristina de Gennaro: Sage DrawingsCharcoal drawings that aim to subvert traditional Western concepts of the landscape genre and challenge romanticized notions of the sublime by highlighting mundane and abject spaces. Tricia Zimic: Sins & Virtues White porcelain sculptures of Chacma baboons depicting the Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Virtues. The sculptures, part of Zimic's "Sins & Virtues" series, are one-of-a-kind and hand-modeled, with the individual personality of each animal and artwork revealed through the development of fine details.
