Nathan Ford's painting 'Joachim'  will appear in the 2012 BP prize to be held in the National Portrait gallery in London from  21 June to 23 September.  Click here for details on the exhibition.

Nathan's painting of 'Alpha' will also be exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait painters at the Mall Galleries from 3 May to 17 May.  Check here for details on the exhibition.

Nathan's portrait 'Abi II' collected the second highest total votes for best painting in last year's 'People's Vote' at the  BP portrait  prize exhibition.

Writing about the BP show, amid the 'hooey phooey and bilge' , according to the Evening Standard's Brian Sewell,

If push came to shove I might just consent to sit for Nathan Ford whose ragged attack on Abi (a cider-sodden tramp I presume) might suit a man of my age and general dishevelment. I sense that he sees something beyond the surface of this sitter, a Scholar Gipsy, Ancient Mariner or Lear, and serves him well enough - though broader shoulders (or none) would have offered better support to so wild a head. There is something of Ilya Repin about it, his Tolstoy or another Volga Boatman.
