Portrait / Self-Portrait
A Four Eleven Gallery Group Show
August 13th - 19th, 2021
Four Eleven Gallery is proud to present Portrait/Self-Portrait. This group show coincides with Provincetown’s traditional Carnival Week, and is curated in the spirit of revelry and revelation.
Every portrait reflects three people: the subject, the artist and the viewer. This show explores the dialogue between these reflections by offering a broad range of approaches to representing human experience through painting. Artists include Four Eleven Gallery regulars Naya Bricher, Liz Carney, Janine Evers, David Foley, Mary Giammarino, Helen Grimm, Pete Hocking, Paul Rizzo and Julie Smith. We’re also delighted to include works by guest artists Cary Bryant, Ella Grimm, Amy Kandall, Grete Langrind, Anya Smolnikova and Andy Towle.
Liz Carney, the show’s curator, says of the work, “Portraiture and self portraiture are fitting genres in this time of extraordinary uncertainty and flux in our culture. We are in transition out of solitude. For this show we’ve asked gallery artists and guest artists to reveal themselves - representationally, symbolically, abstractly. We show ourselves, unmasked, facing the mirror and the viewer.”
Opening Reception: Friday, July 13th, 7-9pm
