About Face

About Face offers a compelling look into contemporary portraiture in Australia and New Zealand. David Wenham praises it as a “sublime collection” providing deep insights into modern portraiture. With the advent of the camera, traditional likenesses in portraits have given way to surreal and abstract styles that capture personality and character in innovative ways. This book explores how diverse portrait artists use their work to reflect cultural evolution, engage with various issues, and explore human identity, demonstrating the enduring power of portraiture to tell stories and delve into our collective and individual selves.
