The Percivals 2016

Cover of The Percivals 2016 Catalogue

Exhibition dates: 6 May to 10 July 2016

Townsville's sustained interest in portraiture is reflective of the genre's enduring popularity around the world. A portrait provides us with not only a physical likeness but also a window in the sitter's life, into their mind and their soul. The voyeur in each of us delights at the opportunity to peek through these windows time and again.
