Catalogue Note
Procktor 'travelled widely, and some of the work he did in Bombay and Venice in the early 1970's suggested a sensibility open to the refined and economical sense of space in the art of the far east that he was to adapt to his own work after visits to China and Japan - the delicate handling of one highly successful portrait of Jimi Hendrix even succeeds in making the guitarist look like a 20th century samurai.' Michael McNay, Patrick Procktor, The Guardian, 3 September 2003.
