Resonance and Illusion in
Contemporary Portraits

ABOUT

Human figures in their paintings are merely abstract representations of an individual or a group. They are encapsulated as the carrier of memories, emotions, experiences, and quarantine monologues. Unlike most portraits that depict a “sitter”—a real person—and aim to achieve a certain level of “likeness” in presentation, these modern works forego the sitter in order to allow for a greater magnitude of commonality and ambiguity.
