We love them. Rock stars, movie stars, art world icons. And we love pictures of them. Most portraits we see today document our abstract ideas of what is best and what is worst - in them and in ourselves. That is why they work. The portrait as a means of artistic expression and human understanding remains important and vital.
It is certainly a great aspect of Søren Rønholt's work: the invisible dialogue between the people he portrays and himself cannot be denied. The characters he portrays may be mostly famous, but that's not the point. He uses every ounce of his empathy to create images of real people. Despite the clever, accentuating mood and the strong, often monochromatic style – what he is looking for is the truth behind the face.
