Terry Setch (born 1936)
Education and career
Setch attended Saturday classes at
He was a member of the 56 Group Wales from 1966 until 1979, later saying he left because it had become too risk averse and part of the establishment.[5]
Setch styles himself as a 'political' artist, taking the threats to the environment as an important subject. Much of his recent inspiration has been taken from his local South Wales beaches. "There are issues of waste, the enormous amount of waste and the threat to the environment" he said at his retrospective exhibition in 2011.[6] His paintings have included Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament campaigns and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster as their subjects.
Setch retired from teaching in 2001.[7]
He was elected as a Royal Academician in 2009.[1] Art critic and media personality Brian Sewell noted Setch's paintings at the 2011 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, though he also asked why "are the squalid little squidges of Terry Setch hanging on these august walls?"[8]
Personal life
Setch married Dianne Shaw in 1967.[7] They have a daughter, Eve.[9]
