Agni Gallery, a contemporary art gallery located in Soi Ruamrudee in the very heart of Bangkok, is pleased to announce the opening of its second exhibition, "Only Faces on My Mind", a curated exploration of portraiture incontemporary art. Dedicated to one of the oldest yet ever-evolving genres in art history, the exhibition asks: "What does a portrait mean today? How do contemporary artists engage with the idea of the face — not just as a likeness, but as an emotional, symbolic, or conceptual presence?"

In "Only Faces on My Mind", Agni Gallery invites viewers to trace the evolving language of portraiture — from itsclassical foundations to its most experimental reimaginings. The exhibition presents a spectrum of works, ranging from pieces that echo the compositional and emotional gravitas of classical portraiture, such as those by Andre Schulze (Germany) and Lino Lago (Spain), to boundary-pushing interpretations exemplified by Celio Koko (Belgium-Lebanese), and faceless portraits by famous artist Adriana Oliver (Spain) and Chance Cooper (USA), whose work reflects the fractured and hyper-personal dimensions of identity in the 21st century.

By bringing these divergent approaches into dialogue, the exhibition becomes a space to reflect on how the face —the most intimate and revealing subject — continues to be a powerful site for artistic inquiry. From formal poise to psychological complexity, from historical homage to digital distortion, Only Faces on My Mind maps the journey ofportraiture as it passes through the filter of our time.

The show is an invitation to reconsider the portrait not merely as a mirror of appearance, but as a canvas of interpretation — where identity is felt as much as it is seen.
