The wide variety of artists involved spans many disciplines and includes Marion Deuchars, David Shrigley, Michael C. Place, eBoy, Rankin, Simon Henwood, Stella Vine, Ian Wright, Paul Willoughby, and filmmaker Shynola. How did each artist respond to his subject and to his task? What does each image reveal about both the sitter and the artist responsible? Find out in Two Faced, not simply a collection but an art project that celebrates the notion of cultural exchange through the talents of some of the most in-demand artists of our time.
