Portrait without a Face
Fox Jensen, Auckland 2018
Portrait Without a Face brings together the works of twelve artists, ten of which would be normally described as “abstract" artists. Each of them, however, attend to the broader notion of portraiture with an intimacy and symbolism that makes their works redolent with character and force.
Imi Knoebel's famous Face paintings join works by Jan Albers, Helmut Federle, Tomislav Nikolic, Coen Young, Ceara Metlikovec, Günter Umberg, Winston Roeth, Geoff Thornley, Matthew Allen, Gary McMillan and Sam Harrison
