Day 310: BP Portrait Award 2011
Today this year's shortlist was announced for the BP Portrait Award held at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The finalists are:
Ian Cumberland
Wim Heldens
Sertan Salten
Louis Smith
They're all from different countries and all came to art in different ways. I think it's inspiring to see how wide creativity really is. It part of everyone in some way, even those people who claim to be without a creative bone in their body (whatever that means!)
Take a look at their entries. My favourite is Heldens. I want to know what he's looking at. It's like a snapshot stuck in time. Why is he holding a pencil? Is he an architect? The intriguing title, Distracted makes my imagination fly; distracted from what, from who? What or who distracted him...? I'm pretty much ready to make a story inspired by it...
Which one do you think should win?
