The images are frustratingly small and inconveniently presented, but the variety of approach among the exhibitors in the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London is wonderful.
You can always take the artist’s names to Google to search for more of their work.
The exhibition is on view to 18 September, 2011 at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Love this website. Keep it up.
Wow. What a wonderful exhibit. Thank you for posting these. I explored the related website and found many more beautiful portraits to admire. My favorite is Okamura’s painting “Little Sister.”
Wonderful paintings, but my favourite is the unfinished one with the old man, it’s the most expressive one :)
This poiet images are very natural and beautiful.

Sorry, Istvan. Corrected.
Brilliant.
Gorgeous and intimate portraits, all of them. And I’ve been blown away by the painting of the model looking at her abstract portrait! Who is that artist?
