My First Exhibition of the Big Faces
Tiāre / Charlie Fox | Visual Art
Overview
Kia Ora,
I'm asking your help to produce my first ever art exhibition which has been in development for over a decade.
I have been Inspired by Gottfried Lindauer, Chuck Close, C.F. Goldie, Platon and other artists who focus on the face, taking their concepts further by building my own camera & techniques to increase the detail captured allowing for larger than life printing with no loss of detail.
It will will feature;
- 10 large 35x44” (890mm x 1118mm) Head Shots with incredible detail
- Previously unseen 8x10" (203 x 245mm) Polaroids
- 8x10" (203 x 245mm) Darkroom Prints
- A selection of portraits taken at parties over the years.
For many years I have been driven to capture a typology of human faces, beginning with 35mm, then 8x10" instant and traditional film, and most recently digital composites achieved by mounting a Nikon D800 onto the back of a Toyo 45C large format film camera.
My vision is 400 of these portraits, but I thought it was time for a modest selection of images to be seen in their full beauty, which simply isn't possible online.
None of these works are for sale, but I will have an operational studio present during the whole exhibition where people can commission portraits.

Project Updates
It’s all or nothing.
30 hours and counting, if the donations don’t make the target I’ll still be running the exhibition with 2 existing big prints.
If you can find it in your heart and wallet to donate or share this project to more people I’d be very appreciative.
these big prints cost $150 each so the target allows for 10 to be printed and leaves some change for mounting hardware.
