Philip Sutton is a British artist who has been active since the 1950s, best-known for highly coloured paintings and prints of landscape, flowers and figures.
"For me colour is all about invention, having the freedom to choose from a kaleidoscope of options rather than matching reality. I feel like a wild musician running through an orchestra, playing any instrument I wish."
Born 20 October 1928 in Poole, Dorset. After leaving the RAF, in 1948, Sutton gained a place at the Slade School of Arts, where he studied under William Coldstream. He won the Summer Composition Prize in 1952 and travelled to Spain, France and Italy on scholarships for a year, before returning to teach at the Slade from 1954 to 1963.
Sutton’s first one-man show was held at Roland, Browse and Delbanco in 1956, the year he was also elected a Member of the London Group - despite living in Snape, Suffolk. This was followed by many solo exhibitions throughout the UK, including the Geffrye Museum, London in 1959, ‘Retrospective’, at Leeds City Art Gallery in 1960, exhibitions in Newcastle, Bradford and Edinburgh in 1961 and at the Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield in 1971. In 1977 the BBC Arena Programme made a film about his work and a retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. His first exhibition in Paris was held at Galerie Joel Salaun in 1988.
Sutton has travelled extensively in order to paint. In 1963 he went to Australia and Fiji, returning the following year with a large exhibition of tropical landscapes. In 1980 he returned to Australia to paint for four months, resulting in an exhibition of large paintings of the Great Barrier Reef which were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1982. He has also painted in Cornwall, Ireland and Crete.
Sutton has received several important commissions, including the design for a graphic media for the 1979 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, a tapestry for Shell in 1984, two tapestries at West Dean College in 1984 and '86, a London Transport Soho Poster, and a set of stamps for the Post Office in 1987. In 1986 he became involved in painting ceramics and was commissioned by Pentagram to paint a wall of tiles to be installed at the Art Tile Factory, Stoke-on-Trent; this was followed by a similar commission for NMB Bank, Amsterdam. An exhibition of his painted ceramics was subsequently held at Odette Gilbert Gallery, London in 1987. In 1995 he began work on a series of paintings on William Shakespeare which continued for three years.
Sutton was elected an Associate Royal Academician in 1977 and a Royal Academician in 1988 and lives and works in Pembrokeshire, Wales. His works are in the collections of the Courtauld.

(William) Robert Sadler produced abstract works in varying sizes with a spare poise and strong use of colour.
The son of a noted racehorse trainer, Sadler was born at Falmouth House (now demolished) at the northern edge of Newmarket, Suffolk. By the age of fourteen he was drawing and painting aeroplanes, horses, houses and landscapes. After studying at Eastbourne College and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he read Mechanical Engineering, in 1930 he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot.
In 1942, whilst posted to the Air Ministry as Director of Plans, he attended art school in London and spent the following year in Turkey on special duties where he lectured at the Turkish Air Staff College and painted and rode race horses. At the end of the war he returned to the UK and took up the post of Station Commander at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. In 1947 he moved to Denmark as Air Attache to the British Embassy in Copenhagen where he attended art school and two years later, whilst Vice-President of the RAF Officers' Selection Board, set-up a studio in Stockbridge whilst attending art school in Winchester.
In 1953 he moved to the USA to take up the post as representative on the NATO Joint Chiefs of Staff Intelligence Committee during which period he attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC where he first encountered the work of the American Abstract Expressionists. Returning to the UK in 1955 he moved back to Newmarket, having retired from the RAF 'to devote the rest of my life to painting.' He attended Heatherley's School of Fine Art in London, Cambridge Technical College and became a member of the Winchester Art Society and the Cambridge Society of Painters & Sculptors.
His first one-man show was at Swaffham Prior, Cambridge and from then until 1963 he lived and painted in a largely abstract expressionist style influenced by the Ecole de Paris Tachisme of Poliakoff and de Stael and by the contemporary British work of Peter Lanyon, William Scott, Bryan Wynter...
