The Royal Society of Portrait Painter's President, Anthony Connolly, reveals a surprising new trend.
The Royal Society of Portrait Painters’ 132nd Annual Exhibition is on now at the Mall Galleries in London until 13th May, so what better time to dissect what people are painting, the modern portrait painting trends right now, and why? I sat down with RP's president, Anthony Connelly, to discuss what he considers the biggest trends in portrait painting.
. What I loved about the artists on display is the mix of styles but also subject matter, these portraits feel personal and intimate.is fascinating, so what does he consider the biggest new trend on portrait painting?"I think the trend is towards the everyman," says Connelly, who takes a beat and considers what this means.
"There aren't any agendas," he tells me."As such, I think it comes through and I think you'll see lots of paintings of ordinary ordinary people. I'm going to qualify that because I don't think people are ordinary." So are more people painting now?"I suspect," considers Connelley,"that it's not a case of more people doing it but that more people are being seen to be doing it. Once you realise that it's a real thing that's happening all over the place I think the inclination is to join in."
