Patrick Caulfield Biography

Patrick Caulfield was an English painter and printmaker known for bold and figurative artworks that often incorporate photorealistic elements. His works are characterised by flat areas of simple colours and black outlines.

Caulfield attended the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, studying alongside the likes of David Hockney and Peter Blake – both of whom also displayed Caulfield’s flare for turning everyday objects into works of art.

Caulfield was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987, and his work is held in the private collections of Charles Saatchi and David Bowie.
