Fifteen British artists were despatched to the 28 different countries that make up the European Union with the brief to make friends with a European and to paint their portrait. The subjects were offered the chance to represent their country and in this way to become something of a Euro Star.

...This simple human to human initiative outside the political, celebrity and business circles that tend to dominate interactions has resulted in an extraordinary collection of paintings that tethers the notion of Europe to its people.
