Keith Coventry - Burnley born artist.

Post by Brandon » Sat Apr 22, 2023 12:42 pm

A taster from the forthcoming edition of London Clarets magazine, Something to Write Home About. With a major exhibition opening at London's Pace Gallery, Burnley-born artist Keith Coventry talks to the London Clarets about his upbringing and his 'low voltage' approach to the strange task of becoming a lifelong professional artist.

Burnley Express photo from the final day of our Foundation Course at Burnley College. I’m on the left, Keith centre and Phil Conroy on the right. I’m holding one of Phil’s drawings at the request of the photographer.

Keith has had an incredible career and deserves international recognition. Enjoyed reading your interview!
