Sculptural Art

I have tentatively began painting again. So I am back to absorbing as much beautiful and inspiring work as I can. Whilst I am working almost exclusively in black and grey just now, although I have began working on a white painting, I have been nonetheless massively inspired by some of the work of Jason Martin. Martin was born in Jersey, in the Channel Islands, in 1970 and lives and now works between London and Portugal. He has a BA from Goldsmiths, London (1993).

Jason Martin has a pleasing minimal approach to painting through expansive yet controlled use of colour, brush and medium. Working in pigment, acrylic, oil paint, graphite and cast metal. His acrylic paintings are texturally beautiful but it’s his wall-mounted casts of gold, rose gold and silver, which look like poured precious metal suddenly frozen in time, that have my jaw gaping at the absolute beauty of these pieces.

These breathaking artworks fluctuating between sculpture and painting.
