Seven-and-a-Half Heads will showcase a selection of figurative works from the Gallery's permanent collection. The human figure is used in drawing, painting, print media, sculpture, cartooning, illustration and performance. This exhibition will explore various approaches to portraying the figure in order to examine the educational impact of working with it through live models, photographic references, imagination and memory.
