Khushna Sulaman-Butt has recently gained a BFA from the University of Oxford, Ruskin School of Art. Her work has been seen in exhibitions associated with her studies and was selected by the Royal Society of British Artists for inclusion in the National Students Art Exhibition 2012.

The portrait depicts a group of friends the artist made at the Ruskin School of Art. Sulaman-Butt says: ‘I attempted to convey a sense of sinister isolation. The subjects exchange looks in strained silence, highlighting the unspoken discomfort in their differences.’
