Work by eight of todays leading contemporary artists exploring the complex nature of familial relationships and other interpersonal bonds.
Recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have forced many of us, including artists, to view ideas of closeness in a new light. Kinship, published on the occasion of the National Portrait Gallerys tenth Portraiture Now exhibition, features the work of eight leading contemporary artists who explore familial relationships through photography, painting, sculpture, and performance. Contemporary portraiture offers a way to consider the mutable yet enduring qualities of kinship and the internal and external forces that affect our bonds with others. For example, interpretations of distancewhether emotional, physical, or geographicalhave recently become more fraught. By recognizing the transformations that occur in the genre of portraiture and the threads that todays portraits share, we can better understand the universality and specificity of kinship.
