Chris Levine

Chris Levine created this portrait of Helena Ann Kennedy, Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws, in 2013. Commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, the work was made possible by J.P. Morgan through the Fund for New Commissions.

Using a lenticular lens, Levine combined several photographic images to form a print that creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed from different angles. The resulting portrait evokes both the dynamism of Kennedy’s personality and the extraordinary range of her involvement in public life in Britain.
