An eerie and unsettling portrait of a young girl, a picture of a boy about to become a man, and a painting of a man who looks as if he has fully enjoyed the pleasures of being a man will compete for one of the UK's most popular art prizes, it was announced yesterday(april 21).
The shortlist was exposed for this year's BP Portrait award, now in its 30th year and as keenly contested as ever. In whole, 1,901 people entered works, the biggest entry and 10% up on last year.
The three artists competing for the £25,000 prize were named as Michael Gaskell, Annalisa Avancini, and Peter Monkman.
