RBSA Portrait Prize Exhibition

I am really happy to share that one of my self portraits has been selected for exhibition at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), one of the oldest art societies in the UK (since 1807), presided over in the 19th century by famous artists such as Sir John Everett Millais, Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Lord Leighton to name just a few. Their annual Portrait Prize exhibition always attracts big names and great works. This year the selection was chosen by senior members of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters who will also exhibit there and the exhibition will be opened by Alastair Adams, president of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. I have already heard on the grapevine that some great artists will be exhibiting with me so I feel honoured to have been included.

2015 Exhibitions

Happy 2015!! I love looking ahead so I have been looking at any great exhibitions coming up. Not the ones with my work in it - necessarily - but the big ones at the major public galleries. Lots of newspapers do this but just like everybody else I never agree with their selection! In 2014 there were some real blockbuster exhibitions. I don’t always get to go because of time restraints (I have a young family so sometimes Rembrandt has to make way for Paddington Bear) but I really enjoyed the ‘Wedding Dresses’ exhibition at the V&A last year, as well as the major Veronese exhibition at the National Gallery. Of course the BP Portrait Award 2014 was a big one for me personally. I really wanted to see the Rembrandt exhibition but I simply ran out of time and had to skip it. I am no big exhibition-goer, but I am a wannabe. In no particular order I hope to see at least some of these promising exhibitions in 2015. Which ones would you recommend and have I missed? Sargent.
