‘With self-portraits, there are no feelings to hurt. I love it, it's pure freedom...’
– Chantal Joffe
Victoria Miro is delighted to premiere a series of large-scale pastel self-portraits by Chantal Joffe. Self-portraiture is one of the cornerstones of Joffe’s art. It is one that, aside from issues of practicality, she considers ‘a way of thinking about time passing’ – in regard to herself and to her relationship with her heroes and forebears, not least Paula Modersohn-Becker, who painted what is likely the first-ever half-length naked self-portrait by a female artist.
The exhibition is available exclusively online and via the App Store on Vortic Collect
