The exhibition catalogue features full-colour reproductions of all 13 portraits in the show and an insightful essay by Gary Michael Dault. The catalogue also includes the artist's reference photographs for some of the paintings!

"In an age as glacially mendacious as ours,  honesty is becoming as rare and as unmanageable as a hothouse flower.  Lying is now regarded, in most circles, as something akin to dreaming.

... 

So suddenly you look at, say, an entirely honest, say, painting, and it’s like a slap in the face.  You wait for the dissembling, the underscoring, the back-story, the special pleading, the dissociative footnoting.  But what if they never come?  What if what you see is what there is? 

That’s what Gordon Rayner’s mercilessly self-scrutinizing self-portraits are like."
