The works included in Eye Contact focus on the enduring power of the artistic representation of a person. Through the depiction of the human figure in different mediums, the artists investigate issues of intimacy, homosociality and the contemporary domestic; issues of gender and sexuality; the role of image consumption in developing a sense of self; different constructions of personhood; the shape of interpersonal relationships; and the role of digital technologies in shaping people’s identities. The exhibition, in general, shows who is seen, who is forgotten or brings to light what historically has been hidden.
