Nelly Duff presents Matt Small, 'The Radiant Ones'

Nelly Duff introduces 'The Radiant Ones', a series of original portraits by BP Portrait Prize nominee, Matt Small. 

Small aims to acknowledge the unacknowledged, reinventing his subjects just as he reinvents the institution of oil painted portraiture. The artist makes an emotive investment in each image via a supremely expressive handling of this age-old medium, breaking down traditionally set hierarchies of 'Fine Art' and instantly heightening the status of those he choses to depict- allowing each to shine radiant!

Opening Night: Wednesday 3rd July 6-9pm
Exhibition continues throughout July- September
Nelly Duff Pop- Up at The Hoxton Hotel, 81 Great Eastern Street, London, EC2A 3HU
