Self Revealing Artworks by
People in the Public Eye.
This was the name of an exhibition held in 2008-2009
The idea for this exhibition, curated by the House of Illustration, is taken from a Victorian game of describing yourself with images of your favourite things; like a cryptic visual essay, a self -portrait. It will appeal to a wide audience because it will give an insight into how the
contributors see themselves. The show will also celebrate the art of illustration as an eloquent tradition which, as a means of communication, crosses the boundaries of language, culture and age.
The House of Illustration has asked people from many disciplines who have the skills to express themselves visually.
Contributors have been asked to illustrate eight favourite things from a list of twelve – their favourite animal, book, clothes, comfort, food, pastime, place, possession, music, shoes, weather and their pet aversion. They have been encouraged to use whatever medium they most enjoy.
The artists' names will not appear on the artwork to allow the visitors the fun of trying to guess their identity – they will be provided with a definitive list should they wish to cheat.
