First of the Morning Light oil on canvas,64x78 I love the gentle light falling on the model from a very beautiful window. Born in 1952, Kuhfeld studied at Leicester School of Art between 1972 and 1976. In 1978 he secured a place at the Royal Academy School of Art. During this time he also studied under the painter Peter Greenham CBE, RA. While at the Royal Academy Schools Kuhfeld won various notable scholarships and prizes: 1978-79 David Murray Landscape Prize; 1979 Royal Academy of Art Silver Medal for Drawing, Royal College of Surgeons Dooley Prize for Anatomical Drawing; 1980 Elizabeth Greenshield Foundation Scholarship and Richard Ford Scholarship for study in Spain. In 1985 the New Grafton Gallery in London gave Kuhfeld his first major exhibition, with the painter Christa Ga, which helped establish him as one of the up-and-coming members of the New English Art movement. In 1986 Kuhfeld was elected to membership of the New English Art Club. In 1992 he became an elected member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. In 2012 Kuhfeld was commissioned by HRH The Prince of Wales to paint the Royal wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge...

Martin is also a brilliant portrait painter. His work is intimate and affectionate; it comes across as a process in which there's a strong emotional participation. He asked this lady to sit for him after spotting her resemblance with one of Rembrandt's portrait ( on show now at the Late Works show at the National Gallery). The delicacy of this piece is remarkable and one of the most moving painting of old age I have seen in recent years.One of my favourite bodies of work that he has produced is this series of paintings and drawings of Pole Dancers.

There's the nude, the overtly sexy nude under cheesy coloured lights, and there's the indistinct mob watching, trying to touch and who knows what else they are up to.
