Grads returned to the Philara Collection in Düsseldorf for the big opening of “I’ve Only Got Eyes on You”, featuring many contemporary artists acquired in the last two years.

The artists featured used collage, painting, sculpture and photography for figurative representations that address both personal and wider societal issues. With and within the works, they explored and extended definitions of the portraits. The focus of the artists in the exhibition ranged across themes of visibility and representation, and discourses on decoloniality and post-humanity, meeting these challenges with images that seek to make our reality more bearable.
