Moving Portraits Of Liam Gallagher To Be Shown At Free London Exhibition

The three-minute HD video portraits, 16ft tall, will be projected onto the Royal Albert Hall's gallery walls.

"Moving portraits" of artists including Liam Gallagher and Miles Kane are to be shown at a free exhibition in London later this week (June).

Face To Face: The Moving Portrait will also feature video portraits of The Maccabees, Azealia Banks and Wretch 32, among others. The exhibition's free open evening takes place from 6pm-9pm this Sunday, June 16 at London's Royal Albert Hall.

During the exhibition, the three-minute HD video portraits - which are 16ft in height - will be projected onto the Royal Albert Hall's gallery walls. According to the exhibition blurb, "this enables the viewer to study each subject up close and personal, providing them with an intimacy into the character of each artist that they have never been seen before".

Face To Face: The Moving Portrait is the work of Tom Oxley, who has created several new works especially for the Royal Albert Hall exhibition, including portraits of Queens Of The Stone Age, Haim and MS MR.

Further information about the exhibition is available on the Royal Albert Hall website.

Liam Gallagher And Miles Kane Feature In New Portrait Exhibition

Liam Gallagher, Miles Kane and The Maccabees are just some of the artists that feature in a groundbreaking new "video portrait" exhibition in London.

Face to Face: The Moving Portrait is the debut solo exhibition by acclaimed music photographer Tom Oxley, and features unique moving portraits projected larger than life onto the gallery's walls. Each portrait is accompanied by a music track of the subject's choice. Other personalities featured include Azealia Banks, Professor Green, Rizzle Kicks and Mark Ronson.

"The idea behind this project is to combine both the media of photography and video, and push them forward together," says Oxley. "I really want people to stop and think, then instantly connect with what is in front of them. This allows the viewer to stand back and truly take notice of what they are seeing, where subtle movements from the subject create a striking visual impact"

The exhibition opens on October 19 at the Londonewcastle Project Space in East London and runs until 28 October 2012. Admission is free. For more information, see londonewcastle.com.
