​​​​We are pleased to announce a new exhibition What the Earth Remembers which will display part of a series of work which Paul Martin called his Concretions. These paintings attract at first through light and colour: some radiant and glowing, some more muted, though blazing forth in sudden flashes of brightness. They are concerned with substance and materiality, the layering up and scraping back of the gesso, varnish and pigments telling of how the works, like the landscapes they depict, have grown into themselves.

These works invite us to look through the landscape into what Gérard Manley Hopkins, a poet always important to Martin, called the inscape.

​

Paul Martin enjoyed a career spanning nearly half a century of painting and printmaking during which he exhibited widely, both at home and abroad. He has work in the collections of The Royal Academy, The British Museum and the BBC. Over the course of his career he garnered many awards including The British Institution prize for Printmaking and The Royal Academy Awards for Painting and Printmaking.
