Greeting card printed with Sweet Pea II, 2001 by Patrick Procktor RA (1936-2003)
Patrick Proctor RA was born in Dublin in 1936. In 1965 his paintings were, as he later put it, 'far from realistic'. Using oil paint or watercolour, he later became more interested in capturing appearances, bucking the trend towards abstraction.
Procktor's first show at the Redfern Gallery in 1962 sold out before the opening. From then until his death the artist and gallery stayed together in a loyal and highly successful partnership. Procktor was awarded numerous painting prizes during his lifetime and was elected a Royal Academician in 1995.
