Keith Milow (b.1945) studied at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal College of Art. His work has been seen in numerous solo exhibitions internationally and is held in public and private collections including those of the British Museum, Tate Galleries and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in the UK and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in the United States.
The portrait is of Milow’s friend and fellow artist, Barry Martin. It is the 37th in a series of fifty individual works painted in ‘negative’ colour values. Usually these are based on selfies that Milow asks the sitters to provide, however in this portrait, Milow took the original photograph which includes an image of Stanley Spencer’s Resurrection at Cookham (Tate galleries) as a background.
