Painter, born in Leeds, Yorkshire, who studied at York College of Arts and Technology, at Cheltenham and Royal College of Art. He constructed meticulous, pictorially mischievous and witty pictures in which sexuality was a recurrent theme. They owed much to artists he admired: Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí and had a Surrealistic quality. In 1990 Greenwood won the Midland Bank Purchase Award and the Burston Award and spent three months in residence at Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris. Works were exhibited in group shows in Switzerland and London and in 1992 were featured in Young British Artists at The Saatchi Collection, which holds Greenwood’s work.
