It’s always interesting to see how an artist views themselves, especially in the context of their own art. “Self Portraits” (previewed) which opened recently in Berlin at Circle Culture Gallery is based exactly on this concept.

The idea for the show was to approach the historical theme of self-portraits and to bring it into a contemporary art context. See […]
