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
