Habs Old Boy wins BP Portrait Award 2019

 

Huge congratulations to Old Boy Charlie Schaffer (OH 2010) who has won the prestigious BP Portrait Award 2019 with his portrait “Imara in her winter coat”. The judging panel said that Charlie’s portrait was a skilful piece. They commented that a “combination of several different textures including faux fur, hair and skin are revealed by prolonged looking and together these produce an image that is traditional, but clearly contemporary”.
