"I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you" - Frida Kahlo

The latest group show at Kristin Hjellegjerde’s Wandsworth gallery in London brings together the work of 16 artists who are exploring portraiture through their different mediums. The exhibition’s title All the Days and Nights nods to a note written by Frida Kahlo accompanying a portrait that she gifted to her friends on the occasion of their marriage in which she references the power of a portrait to not only transcend time, but to also offer a kind of double, a ‘stand-in’ presence. Hailing from different backgrounds and artistic practices, the show’s participating artists explore contemporary forms of portraiture through representations of the self, the other and the imagined.
