Artista inglese, nasce a Letchworth nel 1931. Dopo il servizio militare si forma alla St. Albans School of Art, e negli anni dal 1954 al 1957 presso il Royal College of Art di Londra. É considerato uno dei pittori più originali della sua generazione per aver colmato l’apparente divario tra astrazione e pop art e per aver ridefinendo i protocolli standard della pittura.
