The three shortlisted artists for this year's ?25,000 BP Portrait Award are David Eichenberg, Michael Gaskell and Daphne Todd for Last Portrait of Mother. The prestigious National Portrait Gallery competition is open to everyone over the age of 18 and the 58 artists exhibited here - whittled down from a record breaking 2,177 entries - are proof that portraiture is still an exciting, vital and relevant medium today. Some of the images play on perspective or use photographic techniques, alongside a host of other tricks but all share one aim: to reveal the inner lives of their subjects. Recent winners have included Craig Wylie (2008), who presented a hyper realistic portrait of his girlfriend, Katherine Raw, and last year's winner, Peter Monkman, Director of Art at Charterhouse School, who took first prize for Changeling 2, part of a series of portraits of his daughter, Anna, at different stages of her life. This year's award and prize winners will be announced on the evening of Tuesday 22nd June.About National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery houses portraits of significant figures from the late 15th century to the present day. This isn't the place to come for serious works of exceptional artistic merit - the overriding aim of the National Portrait Gallery is to reflect the status of the sitter, not the artist - but where else in London could you hope to find The Beatles, Henry VIII, Sir Richard Branson and JK Rowling all hanging out together? The appeal of this gallery (opened in 1856) rests simply in its comprehensive commemoration of British history from the late 15th century to the present day through the medium of portraiture.
