The word "portraiture" encompasses a broad category of artwork that has the power to generate conversation, inspire compassion, and express identity in new ways. Portraits invite discussion and compassion while looking in and through the eyes of another.
Artists were invited to submit up to 5 portraits in any media. The exhibition seeks to broaden the definition of portraiture and highlight the genre's relevance in society and art. Artworks have originated from direct encounters between the artist and the figure or draw upon existing imagery or historical figures. The exhibition features both 2D & 3D artworks, including, but not limited to, photography, painting, watercolor, sculpture, and more. “Looking at the virtual gallery of over 150 original artworks, I am reminded of the power of one to influence many”, shared Darlene Kryza, Philanthropy & Community Relations leader at Roche Diagnostics. “When I look at this collection I see both the vulnerability and resilience that our community has demonstrated over the last year - it’s an inspiration.” There are two ways to view this extrordinary community exhibition, including at your own pace slides, and video format.
