Roger Law: Swimming Platypus

Roger Law was born and raised in the Cambridgeshire Fens. At 14 he left to attend the Cambridge School of Art, where he met Peter Fluck, with whom he would later form the partnership Luck & Flaw, which morphed into Spitting Image.

After moving to London, Law began a successful 35-year career as a caricaturist, working for magazines, newspapers and television. When it all came to an end in 1998, Law took himself to Australia where he took up drawing and painting again, recording his adventures there. Roger eventually took those drawings and sketchbooks to Porcelain City, Jingdezhen, in China, and began making finely crafted ceramics.

Law is now back in the UK and resides on the North Norfolk coast. Despite his long-standing connection to the area, Law was first exhibited in Cambridge at Fen Ditton Gallery as part of our Birds exhibition (June 2019).
