Brand New!! Regal Monastic Tell Of Portrait Painters - 2013 Prizewinners

, , , , , , , , Edit
Something has happened to alter the await of the 122nd Annual Open Exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
  • First - it has an exhibition inside an exhibition - amongst the exhibition of move selected for the SELF Portrait Prize exhibition (see yesterday's post - Jan Mikulka wins £20,000 SELF Portrait Prize)
  • Next, when I walked into the North Gallery I idea I'd gained an early on admission to the BP Portrait Award.  What I saw was an awful lot of really high lineament move inwards a various hit of styles
  • Finally, 2 portraits of women amongst facial disfigurements won major prizes.  The RSPP, along amongst the charity Changing faces, is to live congratulated for the agency inwards which it celebrates portraits of people amongst a disfigurement.
Below you lot tin read near the prizewinners inwards this major open exhibition of portraiture.  I'll live posting to a greater extent than near the selected artists from the opened upwards entry as well as the exhibition on Saturday.

One quick comment earlier I start.  Four of the prizes this twelvemonth went to artists who submitted via the opened upwards entry. This fine art social club to a greater extent than than whatever other e'er manages to persuade me that artwork from the opened upwards entry which wins prizes has been executed by painters who are beingness seriously considered every bit prospective futurity members of the RP.  I don't know if it's truthful - but it's for sure the example that this twelvemonth all the artists chosen for prizes from the opened upwards entry are serious professional person artists.

This prize is awarded to the most distinguished portrait of the twelvemonth and this is a prize which comes amongst a pregnant cash accolade every bit good every bit a gilded medal as well as the prestige!

Having a T shirt amongst its message backwards is a corking attending getter - as well as makes us realise this paradigm is the agency Olivia sees herself inwards a mirror.  Her steady gaze is really engaging.  Plus I loved the fact the portrait is of a daughter who patently loves horses as well as paradigm portraits of horses!

Mark Roscoe’s portrait of eighteen twelvemonth quondam Olivia was commissioned past times "Changing Faces" every bit business office of its strategy to ensure that people amongst facial disfigurements are represented throughout the arts.
When the committee prize was placed kindly inwards my hands I began thinking of a agency to challenge people's ‘first impression’ every bit it tin as well as so oft live highly superficial as well as hence really wrong. I painted Olivia inwards the agency of a self-portrait to encourage the viewer to see life through her eyes. The paradigm is a mirror reflection of Olivia inwards her chamber wearing her favourite T-Shirt amongst the slogan "Love is the exclusively solution, Love is the exclusively way."

Our reflection inwards a mirror is most familiar to us nonetheless every bit everything has been reversed it is the opposite stance to a photographic tv set camera as well as that of everyone nosotros run into including our friends as well as family. This raises the question, what is to a greater extent than important, how nosotros stance our self or how nosotros appear to others?
