Featuring 18 large-scale portraits, Silent Testimony is a display by Belfast-born artist Colin Davidson.
Connected by the theme of loss, the display reveals – through portraiture – the personal stories and experiences of those whose lives were impacted, and continue to be affected, by the Troubles, a 30-year period of conflict in Northern Ireland.
Painted between 2014 and 2015, the portraits are connected by each sitter’s shared experience of personal loss and speak to the ongoing impact of conflict on individuals, as well as wider communities in Northern Ireland and beyond.
