Madge Gill working on a section of a large pen and ink piece on fabric Fountain House Gallery, NYGary Peabody through April 18, 2018 The six artists featured in "'About Face': Recent Portraits from Fountain House Gallery" make images that record the likeness of an individual. At the same time, they transform this process into a springboard for creative invention. Collectively they demonstrate that a portrait represents not simply an individual, but a complex encounter between an artist and their subject. As a special project for "About Face," more than 30 Fountain House Gallery artists have created self-portraits to be hung together in a group installation.

Four have had little if any expectation that their fantastical designs would actually be constructed; the fifth is a photographer who has spent years documenting the built environments of self-taught artist-architects. They include Alexander Brodsky, Ilya Utkin, Olalekan Jeyifous, Achilles G. Rizzoli and Fred Scruton.
