Join Area at the Cosa Gallery in Notting Hill for a view of Bright Young Figures, works by BP Portrait Award shortlisted artists Vanessa Garwood, Hugo Wilson and Ian Bruce, curated by Aretha Campbell, running through Sep 30.

The exhibit explores different interpretations of the human form by three exceptional young contemporary artists - all of whom display the technical skill of classical painting, more often than not forgotten in today's emerging art scene.

So swing by and celebrate the traditions of painting through the representations of the figure.

Anything but boring!
