Martin Froy (9 February 1926 – 26 January 2017)[1] was a painter of figures, interiors and landscapes; part of a school of British abstract artists which flourished between the 1950s and 70s.
A number of his paintings from this time were displayed in a joint-exhibition with Lucian Freud at the Hanover Gallery in London in 1952.
He also participated in overseas art visits and residencies funded by the Leverhulme Research Award and the British Council in Italy and Russia.
He has also created a number of murals, including those at Morley College, London and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.
His most recent exhibition Martin Froy and the Figurative Tradition took place at the University of Leeds in 2014.
