Matt Batt studied at Kingston University and Chelsea College of Art. His work has been seen in solo and group exhibitions in London and was previously seen in the BP Portrait Award Exhibition in 1998 and 2002.

This portrait is of the artist’s sister, whom he had wanted to paint for some time. Batt made a series of sketches in one sitting and then immediately painted the portrait while the details were still fresh in his mind. He says: ‘I like to work quickly so that my paintings emerge as spontaneously as possible.’
