The intriguing British artist Daphne Todd won the UK’s most prestigious portraiture award, the BP Portrait Award, for her depiction of her deceased mother, who passed away at the age of 100. Remarkably, her mother posed for three days post-mortem, between her death and funeral, in Todd’s studio. The painting is chilling and highly controversial (it’s included in the gallery).
