If you had the chance to paint your mother - how would you represent her? Would you paint a flattering picture showing her in the prime of her youth?
Would you replicate a recent Polaroid and show that she's a woman who's been through most of life's ups and downs? Or would you go for some sort of artistic and abstract symbol?
Art curator Harry Pye has asked a hundred artists to paint their mothers in time for 'Mothering Sunday'. He bought them each a blank canvas and the results of his experiment are on show at the Oh! Gallery, Oxford House Arts Centre in Bethnal Green, East London. Oral poet and writer Benjamin Zephaniah wrote the introduction to the exhibition's catalogue.
