This exhibition, Truth & Others Myths, questions what truth is in the context of the self-portrait. Is the “selfie� in art meant to look like the artist, be recognisable in a police line-up of suspected artists, for instance? Or is it about representing the artist, their soul, their subconscious, their psyche? Is it more about representing the personality of the artist as seen by the person who knows best......the artist? One cannot truthfully say that the artist can be recognised facially from any of these works, indeed some of the faces are left absent from the paintings, whilst others are cut out from magazines and are of other people. Some have a semblance of a face recognisably Steve, to Steve, but on the wrong body. However each time a work is produced, Steve finds something of himself in it, scourged from his subconscious and presented to the outside world. So, one can say that this exhibition does indeed contain Truth & Other Myths because, maybe, in the end its all the same thing. Isi Tart, 2014
