Star Portraits with Rolf Harris (2004) is where a group of three professional portrait artists are assigned the task of painting a celebrity from life using their preferred style. The star then decides which portrait to take home with them.
On 18 January 2004, antique dealer and celebrity, David Dickinson was the subject. Three artists were asked to paint a portrait of David from a personal sitting including Andrew James RP. Weeks later the finished results were unveiled at The National Portrait Gallery and David was asked to choose his favourite, which he was allowed to keep. Andrew James’ painting brought a tear to David’s eye as he was confronted by a striking likeness to his Mother. The portrait now has pride of place in David’s home.

Are there any artists, anywhere, who use appropriation in their portraits?
Someone who is contemporary please? So someone in recent years. If possible who also uses really obscure facial expressions as well. Bonus point?…
