Albert Irvin first studied art at the Northampton School of Art from 1940 to 1941, going on to study at Goldsmiths College where he later returned to teach between 1962 and 1983.

Irvin has had numerous solo exhibitions since 1960, a major retrospective of his work was held at the Serpentine Gallery (London) in 1990 and he was elected a Royal Academician in 1998.

Paul Moorhouse, Tate curator and author of the book 'Albert Irvin: Life to Painting', wrote:- 'even to those familiar with his work, seeing a new painting by Irvin can be an extraordinary experience akin to discovering a young, energetic artist in the first flush of ambition. Given the force of its restless energy, its freshness and the sense it communicates of an artist in love with his chosen activity, it is even more surprising to realise that this is the work of an artist born in 1922'.
