REPORTRAIT - Nottingham Castle (Antony Micallef), by Deleted on Aug 1, 2017 20:29:12 GMT 1, Thought you guys might like to see a few images from Nottingham Castle's REPORTRAIT exhibition. Well worth a visit if you're in the area or passing. I've posted the Micallef pieces but will add a few more images of the other artists in the exhibition later.

REPORTRAIT
Philip Gurrey, Maisie Broadhead, Glenn Brown, Sasha Bowles, Paul Stephenson, Matthieu Leger, Annie Kevans, Antony Micallef, Jasleen Kaur, Samin Ahmadzadeh, Julie Cockburn, James E Smith and Jake Wood-Evans
27 May to 10 September 2017
The portrait has continued to be one of the most recognised, revisited, and arguably the most celebrated art forms throughout history. Exclusive to Nottingham Castle, this exhibition demonstrates how classical and traditional figurative portraiture continues to inspire artists today, and remains relevant within contemporary artistic discourse.
Reportrait presents thirteen artists who have reimagined historical sources, altered or disrupted typical notions of how the portrait is defined, or used an image or reproduction as a starting point to create something new.
Consisting of new commissions made in direct response to Nottingham City Museums & Galleries collections, alongside loans, and works straight from the artistโs studios, the exhibition showcases painting, photography, installation, digital art, sculpture, video and drawing, many of which have never been seen in public before.

REPORTRAIT - Nottingham Castle (Antony Micallef), by ricobenfico on Aug 2, 2017 23:09:53 GMT 1, Firstly, many thanks for the detailed photo's.
I absolutely love these new works by Micallef. The level of detail in these abstracts is a contradiction in itself. Grey Self Portrait in particular is a stand out piece, such a technically well executed piece of art. I could stare at it for hours. The composition in how he almost makes the portrait levitate from the background with the shadowing, colouring and positioning is fantastic. Stunning.
Would love to see this in person. Think they'll trade a GIWTBB for it?

I wish I could have spent more time with them, a gallery setting really doesn't do them justice, they need to be in your living room so you can live with them and really get to know them. It wasn't until after I left I realised how powerful they were and what an impact they had on me. As I drove down the motorway, I was surprised at how deeply and emotionally they had jarred with me, they stir something inside. Thats often the case when I see work like Micallef's, once you reflect and give the encounter space, it always becomes more powerful upon reflection.
Haha well, I would hope you'd also want some cash for your GIWTBB too?!

After deleting a profile many years ago and then ignoring this one, I've decided to give it a go and engage a little more.
I also notice I've just become a 2 Star Member, with my last Glenn Brown image! To celebrate I'll be creating a thread, which I hope others will contribute to over time, with a little give away; tomorrow, as I need to go to bed now!

Thanks for posting

Tell me about it d.r. p! I find them very unsettling and beautiful at the same time. I managed to upload a few videos last night, they're in the middle of the thread, before the Glenn Brown's.
