LARA Alumnus Jamie Coreth in BP Portrait Award Exhibition 2020

Back to all journal entries

We are very proud of former LARA student Jamie Coreth, whose work ‘A Portrait of Fatima’ has been selected for the BP Portrait Award 2020. Of course this year the exhibition will be online only, and will be available to view from Tuesday 5th May. The portrait also graces the front of the exhibition catalogue for 2020!

Having gone on to study in Florence after LARA – at the Charles H. Cecil Studios and the Florence Academy of Art – Jamie is now based in the UK, working as a full time artist.  In June 2016, Jamie’s portrait ‘Dad Sculpting Me’ was awarded the Young Artist Award at the BP Portrait Awards, National Portrait Gallery, London.
