Laith McGregor, Alone Time, 2018

Australian artist Laith McGregor is known for his intricate drawings in pencil and ballpoint pen. His new show Time Will Tell opens at Michael Reid Berlin today, exploring the conceptual foundations of portraiture. “The resulting work is an outcome of my ongoing research to understand the complexity of the human experience and my place within it,” the artist has said, “in particular investigating the relationship of various interpretations of portraiture as a common vernacular, through the use of masks, deities and notion of the self.”
