Sanell Aggenbach explores the human pre-occupation with appearance in What a lovely afternoon; essentially a ‘non-portrait’. Her reference for this painting was an American photograph from the 1950s, and it challenges our predominantly visual approach when interacting socially - usually based purely on appearance and ‘skin deep’ qualities.
