Held in the Northlight Gallery in Stromness, Cary Welling (the gallery owner) has brought together
`a collection of artworks that challenges the simple dictionary definition of a portrait as a likeness of a person; it includes a range of approaches to portraiture, from the straightforward (but difficult) attempts to capture a likeness in pencil, charcoal, paint or photography to abstract representations of person, family or state of mind.`
Overview of exhibition
 |
| Second from right is my intaglio plate family portrait (2016) |
 |
| On the left is a self-portrait made using perspex, pins & monofilament. |
Each `portrait` was unique in it`s own special way with the artists using
various techniques to capture the `essence` of the people being portrayed.
There are to many works and artists for me to name individually so I have
chosen a few that I particularly liked.........
 |
| Deanie Welling, self-portrait. `Out of the bag`, monoprint. |
 |
| Tom O`Brien , `Organ Maker` Gum bichromate. |
If you have a few moments this afternoon, tonight or tomorrow,
I highly recommend you pop along and see this show!!
