Sarah Ball features in 'X Collection 202: Portrait of a Man'
X Museum presents the third collection exhibition, titled X Collection 202: Portrait of a Man, featuring male figures created by 61 international contemporary artists in recent years. The exhibition delves into the complexities and multifaceted implications of male image and identity and explores how contemporary artists learn and unlearn from the past.
Portrait of a Man includes painting, sculpture, and photography, alongside relevant research materials, publications, and videos, providing a concise overview of the techniques and concepts contemporary artists use today. The exhibition highlights details of mundane life, weaving a complex world familiar to us and outlining the current socio-economic climate, which prompts us to recognise and reflect on the stereotypes, consumerism, and power dynamics.

Their works, created from diverse perspectives, connect and resonate with each other and constantly challenge established perceptions, guiding viewers to explore the significance of male portraiture.
