Frontal, three-quarter, general, close-up, close-up, very close-up...The portrait throughout the history of art has adopted different forms, despite the fact that in most cases, by means of fairly established and closed formal and compositional rules. Strike me a pose is an exhibition that takes as its starting point the evolution and transformation of portrait by incorporating the work of artists such as Kevin Sabo, Sophie Vallance Cantor, Philip Gerald, Matija Bobičić and Magda Kirk. These artists explore contemporary ways of trackling the genre through novel formal and thematic approaches, ranging from working with latest subject matter and aesthetics to the inclusion of new individuals and subjectivities. Through the works presented, we analyze the ways in which current artists are related to the portrait -both consciously and unintentionally-away from the premises that originally generated this genre.
