Launch – Figure to Ground: Dialogic Portraits by the artist Felicity Allen
Online event

Date and location: 28 October 2021, Online

The ‘People Like You’ research project is proud to launch the series, Figure to Ground: Dialogic Portraits by the artist Felicity Allen. In her residency for the project, Allen produced a series of portraits, curated in the on-line exhibition Rooms, and a film, Figure to Ground – a site losing its system. Her work draws attention to the relations between figure and ground – persons and contexts or environments, but also to practices of representation, especially those associated with portraiture: to relations between liking and likeness; and the temporalities of painting as one among other media.

A sitter once said, seeing the portrait series that she was a part of, that she felt she’d joined a family of portraits because of the shared look of them.
