"As long as artists have been making art, portraits have continued to be relevant."</p> <p>From traditional to eccentric, the exhibit showcases a wide interpretation of faces.</p> <p>"People are naturally drawn to pictures of people, from celebrities to strangers, and sometimes portraits of strangers can be more interesting to look at," Edmundson says.</p> <p>Head Shots also features a local celebrity, prominently displayed and impossible to miss: The Milk Maid.</p> <p>"The Milk Maid is a retro commercial sign, rescued from obscurity and loaned by a private collector," Edmundson adds. "She's an authentic 1950's advertisement, which has been displayed at the Trianon Gallery and at the Tongue 'n Groove."</p> <p>Keep an eye out for this intriguing exhibition.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/gallery-october" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Gallery October</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/trianon-gallery" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Trianon Gallery</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/helen-christou-gallery" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Helen Christou Gallery</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/jane-edmundson" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Jane Edmundson</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-position-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Position:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/private-collector" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">private collector</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/position/milk-maid" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Milk Maid</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/exhibition-curator" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">exhibition curator</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="At the Gallery" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:04:14 +0000 trevor.kenney 4947 at /unews
