Reviews and features

“An artist whose paintings and drawings appear often in East End galleries.”

“His animals have attitude — their own and his. Neither sweet nor symbolic, they ironically dare us to be nostalgic.”

“As matter-of-fact as they look on the surface, the panels demand more than a cursory viewing.”

“They both painted in a style I liked — loose and representational in a photographic sense.”

“Looking at Toby Haynes’ cows dispels all past experiences. These animals are not only friendly-looking, but also seem like pets, with distinct personalities.”

“His collectors have remarked on his ability to capture the personality of his subjects, without anthropomorphizing them.”

“Simultaneously mysterious and mythic.”
