Opie's photography redefines portraiture, probing the complex questions of who we are, how we present ourselves, and why representation matters. Catherine Opie is one of the most influential artists of our time, and through her portrait photography she conveys a sense of shared humanity and beauty. At the core of Opie’s work is a persistent exploration of the evolving ideas around community, identity, and belonging, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. This publication accompanies the exhibition Catherine Opie: To Be Seen at the National Portrait Gallery, developed in close collaboration with the artist. https://alistaironeill.com/BLUSH Fri, 20 Feb 2026 11:21:06 +0000 Alistair O'Neill https://alistaironeill.com/BLUSH BLUSH Phaidon Spring 2026 <img width="766" height="998" width_o="766" height_o="998" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5168a87cb01ebccdaed7bf91b3cda01a8bcbf865cb9a6f4fb57ae3d609f11a1/61K-Kx9uprL._AC_UF894-1000_QL80_.jpg" data-mid="245109180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/766/i/a5168a87cb01ebccdaed7bf91b3cda01a8bcbf865cb9a6f4fb57ae3d609f11a1/61K-Kx9uprL._AC_UF894-1000_QL80_.jpg" /> BLUSH: CONTEMPORARY MAKEUP ARTISTS Phaidon Editors, with a foreword by Linda Evangelista and an introduction by Alistair O'NeillA visually stunning celebration of the world’s most brilliant, bold, and boundary-pushing makeup artists.
