Artist`s Statement;
I have had the pleasure of meeting Sir Norman on a number of occasions, and he still retains a mischievous sense of humour, as well as remarkable physical fitness for his age. In a recent TV programme
featuring Norman's house on the Isle of Man, I was delighted to see that Norman had a print of this painting on his bedroom wall.
This portrait (on display at Pinewood) shows Norman surrounded by many references to his films. I often use a background of busy, “multiple” images.
