Here are my favourites from the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Award 2025. It's a fantastic selection this year, and free to see as always.

Mother, by Diego José Aznar Remón Composed in muted tones, with momentary flashes of pink, this portrait of the artist's wife and son shows them on an unkempt bed, the exhausted mother asleep, the baby awake and looking directly at the viewer. It is a moment of gorgeous intimacy.
The Echo - Self-Portrait, by Pippa Hale-Lynch This self-portrait has the quality of a doubly exposed photograph, or one that has slipped and smudged in the process of development. Your eye slides over the detail, unable to lock on. Her face is pale, but with flushed cheeks, against a black background. The painting explores themes of solitude and grief stemming from the loss of her mother.
Ukrainian Girl, by Nelson Hernandez A female figure with her back to the viewer stands at a window, through which shines a wintry light illuminating individual strands of her light blonde hair. Chilean artist Nelson Hernandez's spectral portrait of his Ukrainian friend, Kseniia, captures a brief moment in time: 'I was moved by her stillness as she gazed out the window. Suddenly, the drawing in her hoodie evoked in me a scene of war, a metaphor of her past and the burden she carries.'
Portrait of a Sculptor, by Dide Blasting out bright red, the surface of Dide's portrait of the sculptor Laurence Edwards seems alive with a kinetic, electric energy. The sculpture sits in a brightly patterned armchair, looking directly at the viewer, with legs crossed and grubby boots prominent. It explores 'the messy plaster-splattered existence of artists in their studios'.

David Ellison baut mit Skydance und der frisch geschluckten Paramount Global an einem Medienimperium, das perfekt ins Familienbild passt: Vater Larry kontrolliert mit Oracle die Cloud, Sohn David die Screens. Die Ellisons digitalisieren Macht – von der Datenbank bis zum Blockbuster.

A look at Paramount's culture shift under David Ellison, where the focus is on male-driven action movies, and not on prestige films seen as critics' darlings (Pamela McClintock/The Hollywood Reporter)

Feelings Don’t Matter: How the Ellison Era Is Transforming Paramount 
It’s a brand-new day at the legacy studio, where prestige films are out, testosterone-heavy tentpoles are in and Brett Ratner is back on the call sheet.

"Polanski calls for sports boycott of Israel."
Ayoub Khan also called it correctly in a BBC interview: it (the Aston Villa decision) is both a safety issue and a matter of opposing genocide.
But depressing that the Canary can't write an article without citing Twitter and contributing to its SEO rankings.
And yes Preston is a third rate political commentator who can't string a thought together.

Zack Polanski says kick Israel out of all sports
Polanski has establishment media rattled as he endorses a 'general boycott of Israeli sports teams' - just like the cultural boycott of Russia

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on $f(T,L_m)$ gravity
In this work, we investigate Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) within the framework of $f(T,{L}_m)$ gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is generalized as a function of the torsion scalar $T$ and the matter Lagrangian ${L}_m$. We analyze three representative $f(T,{L}_m)$ models and derive constraints on their free parameters, $α$ and $β$, by combining observational bounds from the freeze-out temperature with the primordial abundances of deuterium, helium-4, and lithium-7. For each model, …
