Painter
Born in Bradford in 1941, the painter Douglas Binder achieved renown in the sixties as one of the ‘Young Contemporaries’. As a co-founder of the iconic underground design group Binder, Edwards & Vaughan, he was a significant influence on the graphics of the era, while his cartoon-style paintings of the time brought him international sales. A brief engagement with the influential Systems Group in the Seventies preceded his return to the north of England where he was, for over 20 years, the curator of the Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax. His current work focuses on the human figure derived from studies made during regular life sessions.
