Geoff Holt, UK Artist, 1942 - 1998

This is a Tribute Website for the beautiful paintings and drawings of Geoff Holt.

Chosen at 14 to attend Junior Art School at Camberwell on a scheme for gifted children run by the London County Council, Geoff Holt left formal training behind at 18 and thereafter sold his works privately or by commission.

The whereabouts of many of his works are unknown, therefore we hope this website will encourage anyone who owns, or knows of other works by Geoff Holt, to contact us so we can add more images to this website.

"The Hunters" Geoff Holt, 1977 (90cm x 70cm)

The image above, "The Hunters" was taken from a print of the original. Whereabouts of the original is unkown. (Print first published by John Sears, 52 Shepard Market. London W1)

"Geoff and Mary, (his first wife) and I were friends in London in the 1960's. I lost touch with them when I left England to travel overland to India in 1970. Over the years I often wondered how Geoff was doing, as I remembered him as such a fun person and so amazingly talented. As I became more proficient with computers and researching on the web, I started looking for Geoff's work, but could never find any reference to it. It wasn't until this year (2008) I finally found a post by Denis Holt, Geoff's younger brother, who was also looking for Geoff's art via the web. It was Denis who first informed me of Geoff's death, and has since been instrumental in getting this website up and running. I met Denis in the 1960's, when Geoff and I both had work hanging on the railings at Bayswater. Denis used to help Geoff by moving his art to and fro and since we met again via the intent, has helped me locate Geoff's family and friends who have supported the creation of this tribute website."
