730 Daily Self-Portraits: A Solo Exhibition by Chaz Howkins
30th November - 14th December
Opening Night: Friday 29th November, 6-9pm

Surface welcomes Chaz Howkins and a solo exhibition entitled, 730 Daily Self-Portraits.

Chaz Howkins has been creating daily self-portraits every day since January 1st 2021. 730 Daily Self-Portraits represents the first two years of this ongoing project. The series of daily self-portrait drawings and paintings started when the artist was feeling particularly uninspired to create new work and decided to set themself a challenge to create a self portrait every day for a month. This then extended to three months, six months, one year and finally the project settled into an ongoing daily practice extending well beyond the original month’s plan. Howkins now intends to continue creating a self-portrait every day for as long as they are able.
