Lisa Scrimgeour's BP Portrait Award entry painting available
Following a conversation with Lisa Scrimgeour we have decided to make available for sale the painting below 'Obfuscate I', which has been entered for the BP Portrait Award competition 2015.
NB - if the piece is accepted for the prize, it will be shown at the BP Award in London at the National Gallery, from 18 June to Sunday 20 September 2015. This work is sold on the understanding that any buyer would make the work available for the show - pending its acceptance.
Obfuscate I, Original painting in oil and mixed media on board.
"This piece was created at the first realisation of a great vulnerability. Unable to truly grasp what I wanted to say, or rather, the inability to say what I have to say to the appropriate person. I cannot fully convey the fragility and perhaps even, the pusillanimous of my inner feelings towards the very process of creating art but this piece is where it starts taking shape in my work. The usual devolved character, breaking through thousands of questions in silence, contemplative yet unbearably withdrawn. 'Obfuscate' is a title I have chosen to both unveil dimensions whilst enigmatically obscuring some of those 'thousands of questions'." - Lisa Scrimgeour.
