Horace Panter - Archive

Early Life

Born in Croydon in 1953 as Stephen Graham Panter, Horace Panter began his career as an artist – and musician – during his time at Coventry University (formerly Lanchester Polytechnic). In 1975, he graduated with a BA in Fine Art and has continued creating art ever since, despite being most famous for his career as a bassist in 'The Specials’ – a British punk/ska band.

Horace’s artwork is strongly influenced by the Pop Art genre pioneered by Andy Warhol and the depictions of light captured in paintings by artist David Hockney.
