Art Exhibition: Kaya Reiss

Roman Portraits by Kaya Reiss

It all started with a book called “Roman Portraits”, black and white photos of sculptures from the ancient Roman Empire. The sculptures ranged from first century BC to third century AD. Many were grooved or marked with age.

I’ve always had a fascination with faces, and statues. I love being able to use my watercolour pens and markers to expressively attempt to capture the feeling of age, beauty and immortality that these images brought me. I love that all of these faces can now be brought together to sit in one space, regarding each other. What secretes would they speak?

March 1 – 29
