Steven Barry Sykes (30 August 1914 - 22 January 1999) was a British artist, known for his Gethsemani chapel in the reconstructed cathedral of Coventry.
Steven Sykes is considered a significant artist of the twentieth century and his works are mentioned in the list of many important buildings and highly appreciated by the Historic England.
The Twentieth Century Society has called him a "significant artist at national level", so much so that his former house is now a historical good.
Sykes contributed with works of art to many churches from the United Kingdom and has collaborated with architects such as Basil Spence and Gerard Goalen.
Sykes worked with Spence at the Cathedral of Coventry, while Goalen commissioned him works in the churches he was rearranging or designing.
It mainly became a great expert in the creation of relief tiles and pots in Picasso's style just like our beautiful ceramic that exposed in many locations, including at the 1951 Festival of Britain.
Sykes taught at Chelsea School of Art from 1946 to 1979.
In 1947 he created a series of neoromantic paintings and drawings.
His war art was made known to the public in 1984 thanks to an article by the Sunday Times on his D-Day watercolors.
