Sylvester argued that there was a new interest among young painters in domestic scenes, with stress on the banality of life.

6. Origins of Kitchen sink realism Bratby painted several kitchen subjects, often turning practical utensils such as sieves and spoons into semi-abstract shapes. He also painted bathrooms, and made three paintings of toilets. Other artists associated with the "kitchen sink" style include Derrick Greaves, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith .

Kitchen sink realism gave birth to social realism, in which real life was presented to the audience. This genre of film showed real life situations and realistic characters.
