Philip Crozier was born in London in 1947, but spent his earliest years in rural Berkshire before his family returned permanently to London. He trained at Bath Academy of Art at Corsham from 1966-70, subsequently taking an M.A. in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, London. From 1970 he lived mostly in London, with regular periods on the Sussex coast, and taught at various colleges and universities, latterly Greenwich College and Central Saint Martins. He moved to South Somerset in 2007.
He has exhibited widely in the U.K., including at the Royal Academy, the South Bank Centre, the Brighton Festival and Kettles Yard, Cambridge. Solo shows include the Universities of Cambridge and Sussex, the Woodlands Gallery in London and the Stables, Hastings. He exhibits regularly with the London Group, to which he was elected in 2001 and of which he is a past-president. He has work in private and public collections in the U.K. and U.S.A.
