The Bigger Picture: Portraits from Ottawa, organized for the Ottawa Art Gallery by Karen Love, gathers together over 200 Ottawa portraits by 78 image-makers, presented thematically in order to provoke a range of questions about how we understand the idea of a portrait.
No longer simply an accurate depiction of physical characteristics or a “speaking likeness,” or a representation of the innermost personality of the sitter, a contemporary portrait can offer (for instance) a depiction of the individual’s relationship to his or her social or political environment, a study of the boundaries between the specific and the archetypal, or an inquiry into the delicate balance between theatricality and intimacy.
