Guy Lindsay Roddon (1919-2006) was a painter of landscapes, interiors, portraits and figure subjects mainly in oils and pastel. He was born in London and studied at Goldsmiths College of Art 1937-39 and then at the Byam Shaw School of Art 1939-40.  After war service with the Camouflage Unit under the direction of Sir Roland Penrose, he taught at Goldsmiths and later at the Brighton College of Art. In 1949 he shared a studio in Chelsea with his friend Henry Lamb RA and later had a studio in Tarrant Street, Arundel in West Sussex.  Guy Roddon exhibited at leading galleries, and wrote books on technique for artists. He taught privately from his studio and at Cobham Hall School. Guy travelled extensively including in America, North Africa and Europe, but was drawn most of all to France for his subject matter, and lived in Menton for several years before returning to London in the late 1990s.
