himself as the enfant terrible of the 1960’s art world, known

Slade School of Art in 1958 and formed friendships with many of the
leading art world figures of his day, such as Cecil Beaton, Keith
Vaughan and David Hockney.
His first exhibition was at The Redfern Gallery in 1963 and the
following year he exhibited in his first ‘New
Generation’
show at the Whitechapel Gallery, selected by Bryan Robertson. Since
then, he had many shows at The Redfern Gallery, London and in
Venice, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan. He has travelled widely
and produced paintings, watercolours and prints of China, Venice,
America and India. He has also worked and travelled in Russia, Japan
and Egypt.
In 1984 he was commissioned to paint a reredos for the St John the
Baptist’s chapel in Chichester cathedral. In 1996 he was
