Though Winston Branch has yet to be the subject of substantial critical attention, a very useful and important feature on the artist appeared in the magazine BWIA Caribbean Beat, November/December 1995, on pages 78 - 83. In it, the writer reflected that, “after a very brief stint as a portrait painter in his early days, his work is now purely abstract. Art critic Carlos Diaz Sosa describes his paintings as “abstract canvases in cool, cloudy colours that have a quality which allow the viewer to explore the depths of the mind. Branch also uses paint like a symbol, a purely aesthetic language, an illustration of spirit.”

The article was liberally illustrated with portraits of the artist and reproductions of his work. One of the main portraits showed a young Branch, in his London studio.
