Proposal Title
The Artist’s Creation of Identity through Self–Representation
Abstract
Many painters in the western tradition have depicted themselves embedded in works of art as participants in the narrative scene. In this presentation, I will explore strategies artists have used to do this and the motivation for doing so, particularly as a means of creating self–identity. I will consider examples of canonical artists who have done this, and my own practice as a painter, as an analogy and model for considering issues of community and inclusion.
