Born in Croydon in 1953, Horace Panter graduated from Coventry University with a BA in Fine Art in 1975. Whilst there, he met Jerry Dammers and, together with Lynval Golding, they founded The Specials.

While known predominantly as a musician, he kept up his art practice while touring and became a professional artist in 2010 with his first exhibition at The Proud Gallery in London. Since that time, he has exhibited throughout the UK as well as Los Angeles, New York, and Singapore.

Pop Culture informs both his audio and his visual aesthetic. He doesn’t feel tied to a particular genre so moves back and forwards between each subject. His musical career has obviously influenced all of his work; the cassettes were initially based on studio recordings of songs that went on to become iconic hits.

He says, “People often ask me whether I prefer being a musician or an artist. I tell them that the art is my solo album… it succeeds or fails by my own efforts. Music is teamwork. Both are crucial; I couldn’t live without either.”
