Moving away from the traditional portrait bust or painting, the artists in this exhibition have found ways to convey details of personal identity, biographical narratives, and self-expression. Rather than seeking to depict the outward appearance of their subjects, these artists have found ways to express the inner lives and physical form of their sitters (and sometimes themselves) through other means. In the works in this exhibition, all of which are drawn from the Samek’s collection, artists play with how to represent the bodies of their subjects, and how to represent emotions, identities, and relationships by depicting bodies differently, or without depicting any bodies at all.
