This weekend is the last chance for people to see a collection of award-winning
portraits by young artists. Thousands have flocked to BP Portrait Award
2004 exhibition, which ends its run at Aberdeen Art Gallery this weekend.
The winning portrait, by Cruden Bay artist Stephen Shankland,
has proved to be a huge pull. Nearly 25,000 visitors have
visited the gallery to see the exhibition since it opened
on December 4.
The exhibition showcases some of the country's top young
artistic talent and two Saturdays during the run attracted
more than 1,000 people each day. Shankland's winning portrait
is of his wife Kelly and their toddler son Connor, who
was born in 2003 with a life-threatening condition. |
