In NY he spent an evening taking drugs with muse Gervase Griffiths & this informed some hallucinatory art. He felt that Gervase was the most beautiful man he had ever seen & painted him often
In 1973 he married Kirsten Benson & had a son with her. She sold her restaurant to Langan & Procktor, Hockney, Bacon & Freud helped decorate the walls. Lamp & Pines (1975), Two Diners on Desert (c1976) & Victoria Falls (1974). Regents Park (1973) is a delicate landscape
He became a popular choice to illustrate the records of the Swinging Sixties. Mick Jagger (1966), Figures (1965). His exciting colourful ethereal watercolours captured the spirit of the age
In 1962 he became a full time artist & had his first exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in 1963. Figures (1963), Figure (1963), Seated Figure (1962) & Head of John the Baptist (1964) show an interest in expressionism
During Procktor’s national service he learnt Russian. Polish Pilots (1960), Study (1958) & Antiques Room (1958) show his initial style which was influenced by his teachers. Later his work would become delicate & more sensual
Hodler was one of the great painters of the nude. This was due both to his academic education as well as a Swiss commitment to the accuracy of depiction. These are strange & taut depictions of the human body.

Overall I’ve priced the drawings so they are affordable to everyone. Each is just €149/£135/$177. I believe everyone should have access to original artwork in their homes.
