’s striking portrait exhibition. This year will be the society’s 133rd exhibition and promises more eye-catching portraits by its members and non-members whose work has been chosen from open submission. ‘No year is ever the same,’writes the society’s president, Anthony Connolly,‘but there is always something reassuringly constant about the RP show. Don’t conflate constancy with anything ordinary, however. You will see fresh and sometimes surprising work by painters you know well, and you’ll see portraits by artists who are new to you. Some will be appearing for the first time in a major international show. The RP annual exhibition is, more than ever, a welcoming space for both established and emerging talent.’The exhibition can be seen at the London from May 9 to 18;
