"Rabbett Before Horses Strickland is the Keith Richards of oil painting. At least that’s what the 70-year-old artist tells me with a laugh, which feels pretty spot-on given his rock-and-roll persona. His career spans 57 years, despite a lack of formal training or active self-promotion. He’s almost entirely cut off from technology. He typically paints larger-than-life eight-by-12-foot canvases that can be intimidating, even for avid collectors. He gets bored of his own paintings and shifts his focus to theoretical mathematics or jazz composition, just to keep things interesting. " -By Merritt Rethlake
