Gallery Summer Show: Portrait

Frith Street Gallery presents Portrait, an exhibition of works by gallery artists considering the contemporary portrait through a range of perspectives and mediums. From sensitive images of loved ones to reappropriated portraits mined from the past, Portrait speaks of our innate desire to understand and document our fellow human beings, whether real or imagined.

The exhibition is presented as part of ‘Portrait Mode’ – an international campaign celebrating portraiture on the occasion of the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery, London. Portrait is accompanied by an online moving-image programme, showcasing two works by gallery artists every fortnight for the duration of the exhibition, including work by Bridget Smith, Cornelia Parker, Fiona Tan, Daphne Wright and Raqs Media Collective. Click here to watch.
