    Only Human-A Look At The Works Of Martin Parr

    A new exhibition taking an in-depth look at the life and works of one of Britain’s best-known and most widely celebrated photographers, Martin Parr, is showing at Wolfson and Lerner Galleries in the National Portrait Gallery at St Martin’s Place. The exhibition, which features many of Parr’s most well-known works, is ongoing from 7 March through 27 May 2019.

    Whether you are a fan of Parr’s photography, or just a fan of great photography in general, you will enjoy his creative take on Britain, the world and the people we encounter every day. Many of Parr’s most recognisable photographs will be on display at the Wolfson and Lerner Galleries as well as some never before exhibited works focusing on his favourite subject, people.

    With many of Parr’s most important and engaging works on display, attendees will be able to view portraits of people from around the world, with a special focus on “Parr’s wry observations of Britishness.” This is a truly engaging event that is not to be missed!

    Exhibition Timing

    When asked about the current social and political climate in the UK and the timing of the exhibition, Parr had this to say, “It’s a good time to reflect on who we are, what we’re doing, where we are going – the whole question of British identity. This set of work hints at what is going on.”

    What The Media Is Saying

    The media reviews of Only Human are all favourable with many 4 and 5 star reviews from some of the UK’s best known entertainment magazines and websites.

    Es. had this to say about the exhibition: “His best photographs hold a mirror up to the viewer: it’s us, fed by our own histories, our political outlooks, our vanities and pretensions, who determine the photographs’ meaning.”

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
