Derrick Greaves is one of the most eminent British painters and is extensively represented in museum and public collections. He initially gained acclaim in the 1950s, when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale along with the other ‘Kitchen-Sink’ painters: Bratby, Middleditch and Smith. However, his work swiftly developed into a more heraldic style that paralleled 1960s Pop Art.

“I am honoured to have had Derrick as a friend and to have represented him at the gallery for two decades. I know that the paintings will live on and only grow in importance and power, and I am convinced that the pictures will continue to surprise and inspire and delight for generations to come.” James Hyman
