Sept 8- Oct 21
Exhibition:
The Unseen: Portraits of Resilience, is an exhibition that combines intimate portraits, painted in the style of the “Old Masters” with social commentary on the struggles of homeless individuals. Accompanying each portrait is unedited testimony in the subject’s own words, recounting their personal journey. These are not anonymous subjects, but rather, they are portraits of resilience. Viewers will be asked to both look at the painting, and also listen to a life, shattering the comfortable distance of observation.
