Michael Upton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Upton (1938-2002) was an English painter. Originally from Birmingham, Upton studied painting at the Royal College of Art at the same time as David Hockney.
Michael divided his activities between performance work and small, quiet, beautiful gouaches in a time when everyone else seemed to be doing big messy paintings. Many of these paintings were exhibited after his death at The Henry Peacock Gallery.
He taught painting at the Royal Academy in London. He lived in Mousehole, Cornwall until his death in 2002.
