Featuring Bernard Gilardi, Rosemary Ollison, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Della Wells, M. Winston
Portrait Society Gallery is a contemporary art gallery with a broad roster of emerging and established artists. Established in 2008, the gallery showcases predominantly Midwestern artists. Portrait Society is interested in project driven bodies of work that explore the concepts and ideas of making art about identity, presence, social interaction, and community. The gallery seeks to expand the ways in which art is shown, inspire contact and dialog, and foster a sense of community within its orbit. The gallery also represents an impressive roster of self-taught artists, including Bernard Gilardi, Romano Johnson, Rosemary Ollison, M Winston, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, and Della Wells. A related endeavor, called On the Wing, is a non-profit through fiscal receivership that engages in non-commercial museum-scaled projects such as its current exhibition, Art Against the Odds: Wisconsin Prison Art.
