The British artist Graham Dean can be regarded as one of the early artists to promote the return to figurative painting in Great Britain when he started out in the early 1980s. Initially working in a more narrative figurative manner Dean has over time concentrated on the more visceral expression of his figures, and has become highly treasured for his very personal watercolour technique on Indian paper.
