I read that judges article with interest too Ilaria... infact recently, for another fairly high profile UK painting award I was told a work of mine was rejected, despite being the favourite of one of the judges, because the others couldnt agree they instead selected a piece that didnt cause any polaritity of opinion at all - one in effect nobody "minded" - it's a shame to hear and see this averaging out of taste, aimed no doubt to please everyone all of the time - but clearly we are loosing the chance of seeing so much interesting and more diverse work as a result...

Also I wonder if you agree, but the repetition of head and shoulders only pieces is getting a little ridiculous, I'm wondering if I'll ever see arms or - heaven forbid - HANDS again!!! ;-)

On the other hand I am really hopeful that the BP will be a great show this year - the injection of all that extra talent from the now accepted over 40 age group surely won't fail to enrich the quality of the show no end. I await the opening in a couple of weeks with baited breath!!
