http://www.geoffreykey.com/gkey/about.aspBiography from Morgan O'Driscoll
Geoffrey Key was born in Manchester, England, in 1941. His early education was at Manchester's High School of Art. In 1958 he commenced a degree and post graduate studies at the Manchester Regional College of Art, from where he gained the National Diploma of Design and the Diploma of Associateship of Manchester.
His academic awards include the Heywood medal in Fine Art and the Guthrie Bond Traveling Scholarship.
A central aspect of his work, and an integral theme from the beginning, is the human figure. His proud, powerful figure forms ooze sensuality and reveal Key's sensibility and appreciation of the independent contemporary woman.
His work has been and is exhibited widely and features in important public, corporate and private art throughout the world. Northern collectors have long prized his work, but Key's oils are now to be found in international collections from Geneva to Beijing.Biography from Tennants
