Dominican University’s O’Connor Art Gallery presents Headshots – Exhibiting November 7th to December 19th, 2012
Please join us for an opening reception at 4pm on November 7th. Be sure to come early for Lauren Gregory’s 3pm lecture preceding the opening!
A headshot is a visual aid commonly used in the performing arts industry. The goal of a headshot is to capture not only an actor’s likeness, but also their personality and other deeper qualities that go beyond the somewhat superficial surface of a photograph.
In a similar way, the portraiture of Susanna Coffey and Lauren Gregory are more than simple renderings of the face. They are frozen, stilled moments of thought, that penetrate their lush painterly surfaces and begin to speak to a psychological presence that resides beyond physical representation.
