It's summer and it's the time for London to exhibit the winners of the annual BP portrait award, this year with a juicy prize of £35,000 to the first place.


With an announcement done past June, the 2018 first prize was for "An Angel At My Table" by Miriam Escofet, painting where the artist presents under a beautiful white aesthetic, the portrait of her mother, a women in the maturity of life distracting into stillness of the tea moments in a casual morning or afternoon, depiction of a distressing calm. A ceramic still life on canvas along with the wisdom of figurative art.


The second prize was for "Time Traveller, Matthew Napping" by Felicia Forte, a depiction of lights burning the room walls with playful colors, a composition based on ambient contrast, almost an abstract portrait where the forms are just suggested. The third prize was for the Chinese painter Tongyao Zhu and the beautiful instant stolen from "Simone", a teenage neighbor friend from the scholar training times of Zhu in Italy.


A better luck was deserved to “Laura” by Shawn McGovern, a painting full of natural and formal beauty, the amazing mien of the musician Laura Mvula is stressing in her character by painter’s work of focusing in eyes, all the light in the static face gives clues of a deeper individual moment. The formality is built with the absolute support of contrasting colors, a palette to intensify the presence of the skin and the sight.


Until September the National Portrait Gallery London will keep on view not only these three artworks, the exhibition supported by the museum will show 48 selected portraits from those received for competition this year. A mixture of characters, styles, and situations will permit to exemplify the richness of contemporary portraiture practice. The exhibition will be open until 23 September 2018 at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
