“HeadSpace” Exhibition
Morris-Warren Gallery
This event has ended.
Abstraction, when derived from or merged with representative aspects, purveys an alternative visual language and revises our perceptual experience. The human face and head, infinitely fascinating, have been portrayed in myriad contexts and styles throughout the history of art; equally fascinating is what goes on beneath that physiognomy. HeadSpace, inspired in part by Church’s recent show of portraits at Zawahra’s Espacio 20/20 gallery in San Juan, poses questions about the perception of external appearances in conjunction with what occurs internally in the realm of the “head,” encompassing facial expressions, psychology and thought processes. Conveyed through nonconventional, often oblique, approaches to portraiture, the works in HeadSpace pose questions about perception as influenced by what we know and what we believe, as discussed in John Berger’s seminal 1972 Ways of Seeing.
HeadSpace is organized by Amanda Church, Kim Uchiyama and Izam Zawahra.
