Tinie Tempah puts modern heroes in portrait focus for BBC series
As one of society’s oldest art forms, portraiture was traditionally used to convey the power, importance and even wealth of a sitter. Now, one of Britain’s most successful rappers wants to help “change the narrative” around the art form – by shining a spotlight on contemporary heroes instead.
In a new six-part series for the BBC, Tinie Tempah, who has had seven No 1 singles in the UK, will match members of the public with “extraordinary stories” to a selection of celebrated portrait artists who will then capture their likeness.
