This expression is often used as an excuse for bad behaviour or weakness, a plea that we shouldn’t be held responsible because our flaws are interweaved within in our being. Yet, it is also about our vulnerabilities, our deep emotions, and the way we connect and love.
The artists selected for this new exhibition at & Gallery Australia all deal with ‘Human’ in different ways, some in traditional portraiture where the story lies behind the eyes and others in a more abstracted notion of man’s most despicable and shameful actions. Some just simply portray the raw emotions of being human in a specific time and place.
Yes, we are all Only Human, but it shouldn’t be an excuse, it’s a reminder to be better.
