A committed Surrealist for over seventy years, Conroy Maddox (1912-2005) was a painter, writer and lecturer, and a key figure in the Birmingham Surrealist movement. He was described by his friend and contemporary Desmond Morris as "the most undiluted, unwavering Surrealist" in Britain.

He was born in Ledbury, Herefordshire, and discovered Surrealism* in 1935, spending the rest of his life exploring its potential through paintings, collages, photographs, objects and texts. Inspired by artists such as Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí, he rejected academic painting in favour of techniques that expressed the surrealistic spirit of rebellion. Maddox officially joined the British Surrealist Group in 1938.

His creations soon began not only to challenge the conventional view of reality, but also to push pictorial expression to the limits of consciousness. Much of Maddox's work from the 1940s was influenced by that of his friends, including Man Ray and Hans Bellmer.
