Keith Proctor is fast becoming one of the foremost contemporary figurative artists of our time. Piercingly observant with a gift for portraying the everyday, he presents a matchless talent for capturing the innocent spontaneity of childhood.

Having started drawing at a very young age under the guidance of his father, Keith’s elegant, instinctive style lends itself perfectly to his chosen subject matter. Appealing to an audience of not only parents, but those people that wish to remember their own childhood, Proctor’s paintings are particularly evocative. They conjure up memories of colour, fun, dreams and play, and remind the viewer that childhood will never come back, but the child in us will never leave.

In this, his latest collection, Proctor sets out to capture the very essence of childhood; play. Featuring Keith’s loveable son, Jack amongst other endearing characters, each painting unravels the wonders, triumphs, marvels and surprises of youth.

Making Memories explores the precious moments of childhood and allows the past to live again through each of Proctor’s brushstrokes.
