Beverley Hood

Doppelganger


Ran from 30th March - 8th May 2004


This first major one-person show in Scotland by the Edinburgh-based artist built upon the tradition of portraiture, and in particular the representation of artists, within the context of 21st Century technology and techniques.

The show consisted of two related bodies of work, developed around a series of portraits created using 3D character modelling software. Gallery 2 featured two sets of larger-than-life digital prints, Self-portrait (Version 1 - 3) a series of three prints that make up a progressive self-portrait and Doppelganger a series of seven portraits of the artist’s colleagues made during a six month residency in Basel, Switzerland, during 2002. The body of work Doppelganger continued in Gallery 1, which contained an interactive computer based work* and a series of small digital prints addressing the portraiture environment.

A minigraph with a commissioned essay by Francis McKee was available.
