Black is the New Black by Simon Frederick

Nothing beats wrapping up warm on a cold winter’s day and seeking refuge in an art gallery. We highly recommend visiting Simon Frederick’s 'Black is the New Black' exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Bringing together famous figures from politics, business, culture, religion and science, it celebrates black British achievement today. Sitters include Sir Trevor McDonald, Thandie Newton, musician Jazzie B of Soul II Soul and footballer Les Ferdinand.

Find out more about Simon Frederick and the 'Black is the New Black' exhibition on the National Portrait Gallery website and follow him on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
