StolenSpace Gallery is pleased to present 'Portraying Portraiture', a group exhibition that explores portraiture through a variety of styles by nine contemporary artists. 

Portraits have long had historical, social and political  importance. Before photography, a portrait was the only way to record the appearance of somebody. The essence of a portrait has progressed, broadening the definition of what a portrait may be to the contemporary eye. 

Different materials and mediums are explored by each artist, as they create what they have interpreted to constitute a portrait in the modern age. We celebrate all forms of portraiture expressed in this group exhibition, as we highlight artworks that push and play with it's very definition.
