The National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Portrait competition celebrates excellence in the art of portraiture. 46 portraits were selected from over 2,600 entries. In her debut as a painter three of her portraits are hanging in the @smithsoniannpg RIGHT NOW!!! The finalists created portraits in a wide range of media but all of the works share in common their portrait’s potential to insist on the presence and importance of every human being. My mother’s portraits are oil paintings of 3 homeless youths living in Los Angeles. “This is an ever-growing community found in the tens of thousands in urban, suburban and rural areas across the nation. In most cases they are not even responsible for their circumstances. Family trauma and inadequate social policies are the main drivers. My intention here is to introduce the often hidden...in an intimate way.” - Kate Capshaw It doesn’t feel like I have words big enough to convey the depth of pride I feel in her work. Nor could I possibly tread on the depth of emotion that I felt walking through this collection in a way that could explain just how much I felt. All of these artists and their works made me feel ALL of the feelings. The portraits draw you in and their subjects insist on being seen. I saw and felt their stories through their portraits and I felt the pull to ask more of myself. These portraits point to the ways that I could do more to promote the care of each and every subject of the portrait. I really do believe that we all have the power to shift the status quo and to push light into the hidden spaces that have existed for too long without being seen. I felt that on repeat as I walked through the collection...I have the most profound respect for each of the artists and send them all the heartiest of congratulations. I love you, Mom. #outwinboochever @smithsoniannpg」10月28日 0時44分
