The National Portrait Gallery

 

The National Portrait Gallery included collections, photographs, prints and drawings. I was particularly in awe of the last painting titled ‘unit’ by David Booth because of the abstract style of portraiture. When first looking at the painting I was drawn to the features of the subject and how some areas such as the mouth were painted In more detail in comparison to the ears. Other elements which seemed important about the piece was the composition, as when you look closely it becomes more obvious it is a mixture of different identities. The features being in the wrong positions and proportions leads your eye around the painting. To me the painting to me represents is a celebration of diversity and makes the viewer feel a sense of inclusivity.
