Drawing profound inspiration from Lewis Carroll's seminal work Through the Looking-Glass (1871), the exhibition explores the looking glass as a multifaceted metaphor, simultaneously a mirror of reality, a window into imagination, and a transformative portal of perception. This concept resonates across historical and artistic contexts, from Narcissus's reflective pool in Greek mythology to Rembrandt's introspective self-portraits, underscoring the looking glass as a potent symbol of self-examination and metamorphosis.
The exhibition brings together artists working across diverse artistic approaches and techniques, presenting multiple styles including realism, digitally inspired designs, dreamlike surrealism, and figurative abstraction. Together, the artists interrogate how portraiture can continue to reveal hidden dimensions of the human experience, inviting viewers to step beyond conventional perceptions and reconsider their understanding of identity, perception, and representation.
