Denzil Forrester

Forrester grew up in Grenada before moving to Britain at the age of ten. Three Wicked Men was made while Forrester was a student at the Royal College of Art. The painting captures the dynamic energy of the London reggae and dub nightclub scene of the early 1980s where Forrester sketched people as they danced. He also portrayed racial and social injustices, prompted by the death in police custody of his friend Winston Rose.
