Jo Brocklehurst

Jo Brocklehurst (1935–2005) was a British figurative painter whose work focused on the male figure, portraiture and the social world of London's Soho, rendered in a style that combined psychological intensity with a direct, unflinching observation. She exhibited regularly in Britain from the 1970s and was associated with a generation of British painters committed to figuration at a time when abstraction dominated critical discourse.
