ÜberPortrait at Bellevue Arts Museum offers new perspective on portraiture
Ah Xian Jun 01 2009, 6:31 PM Bellevue Arts Museum offers a fresh perspective on contemporary portraiture with its new exhibition ÜberPortrait, on view June 16 through Oct. 18. Comprised of over 30 works by 11 locally, nationally and internationally celebrated artists, the exhibit examines the ‘portrait’ in all its facets – from individual likeness to overarching cultural identity.

Working in a broad range of media such as sculpture, ceramics, photography, fiber, performance art and film, artists highlighted in ÜberPortrait share a common interest: exploring the age-old fascination with capturing a person’s likeness and/or recreating his or her identity, both as individual and a collective entity.

Ah Xian’s pierced and carved porcelain busts decorated with traditional polychrome Chinese designs are born out of a sense of longing for his former motherland, China.
