John Randall Bratby RA (19 July 1928 – 20 July 1992) was an English painter who founded the kitchen sink realism style of art that was influential in the late 1950s. He made portraits of his family and celebrities. His works were seen in television and film. Bratby was also a writer.

John Bratby was born on 19 July 1928 in Wimbledon. Between 1949 and 1950, he studied art at Kingston College of Art. He then began attending the Royal College of Art, completing his studies in 1954. He painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits and figure compositions, and had his first solo exhibition that year at London's Beaux Arts Gallery.

Bratby is considered the founder of kitchen sink realism, a movement in which artists use everyday objects, like trash cans and beer bottles as subjects of their works, which are often thickly-laden portraits or paintings. It began in the early 1950s and has been considered an aspect of John Osborne's "Angry Young Men" movement. Bratby often painted with bright colours, capturing his middle-class family's daily lives. 

Bratby was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1971.

Bratby's own work fell out of favour with the emergence of Pop art. More on John Randall Bratby

"I created this GOLD SPARKLE series inspired by movement, the power and beauty of transition, and reminiscing on the aesthetics of Art Deco which I adore. 

I have always had a great passion for the body as an instrument and very much enjoy capturing it in various ways with my camera" Nana

Nana SR T was born and raised between Vienna, Austria and Kochi, Japan, Nana has been exposed to contrasting aesthetics from the get go. Photography has always served as the perfect medium to express her thoughts, passions and vision of the world. Of the people, relations and objects surrounding her. Self taught on film and digital, Nana has always been guided by her gut more than by technicalities to achieve the image she envisions. Her love for performance and portraits reflect in her work as she moves through life. Nana hopes to draw people into her world whilst providing a canvas for own interpretation to the viewer.

01 Work, The Art Of The Nude, Richard Larters Jean #1 , with footnotes # 93

Richard Larter (19 May 1929 – 25 July 2014) was an Australian painter, often identified as one of Australia's few highly recognizable pop artists. Larter also frequently painted in a Pointillist style. He took advantage of unusual techniques with painting: using a syringe filled with paint to create his early works, and juxtaposing multiple images on to a canvas. Many of his works are brightly coloured and draw on popular culture for source materials, reproducing news photographs, film stills, and images from pornography. He was married to Pat Larter, an artist who was involved in the Mail art movement, then performance art and finally painting in a brightly coloured style similar to Richard's. The Larters emigrated to Australia in 1962. Richard Larter's pop art was less ironic than his American and English counterparts. In this Larter is similar to other noted Australian pop artists, such as, Mike Brown and Martin Sharp. More on Richard Larter
