Geoff Holt

Geoff Holt (1942–1998) was a British artist. Born in London, Holt was active artistically from 1965–1998, first at Notting Hill and later living and working in Devon until his death.

Holt started his professional career in Bayswater selling to tourists from the railings at Hyde Park. Thus his work spread worldwide; an example is the hand colored print "The Hunter", discovered and restored in New Zealand.

His talent was spotted at 13 with an entry into Camberwell School of Art. He left at 18.Holt started selling his paintings around the early 1960s on Bayswater Road. Many minor drawings and large oil paintings were produced, resulting in small exhibitions. He then spent some years at the Portobello market with hand crafted chess set reproductions. At the same time the Afro-Caribbean music scene developed and Holt designed some Bob Marley covers produced from his paintings. Denis Holt, Geoff Holt's younger brother, assisted with his work until 1980.
