MICHAEL JACKSON | ON THE WALL
by
NICHOLAS CULLINAN

 

This exhibition at teh National Portrait Gallery...explores Jackson's artistic impact and shine a light on those influenced by the singer-- who is, according to the institution, "the most depicted cultural figure in visual art." -- Devonte Hynes ― Artforum

[Michael Jackson] was an inspiration, a model, a tragedy. I have never thought about him so much as in the last 24 hours, and shall never think of him again as I did before. That is a measure of this exhibition. -- Henri Neuendorf ― Artnet

Works that offer diverse, complex and often personal interpretations of the entertainer. -- Steve Dool ― CNN

Ambitious and thought-provoking…. As On the Wall makes clear, Jackson’s own face ― through a combination of fame and relentless surgery ― became a mask, reflecting our own biases and ideals while concealing a deeper truth. His art and lasting appeal, on the other hand, function as a reminder to consider our own disguises, and what we might gain by letting them go. -- Thomas Chatterton Williams ― New York Times

Brings together work from a huge variety of artists, who have all interpreted the musician’s legend and legacy in their own unique way. -- Ted Stansfield ― AnOther Man

Despite the controversies that followed Jackson through his late years, his lasting impact on our global culture is undeniable. -- Michael Morris ― Gayletter
