1939-2016

It has been said of artist, Neil Forster, that 'he was probably the finest animal portraitist of the latter part of the twentieth century'. Neil died in 2016 leaving behind a collection of mainly pastel and oil studies of dogs, cats, horses, landscapes and many other subjects. This show will be Neil's first in London for many years and the first ever opportunity to acquire original sketches by this remarkable and very collectable British artist.
