'Throughout my whole life, during every minute of it,

the world has been gradually lighting up and blazing before my eyes

until it has come to surround me, entirely lit up from within...'

 

Teilhard de Chardin

Paul Martin enjoyed a career spanning nearly half a century of painting and printmaking during which he exhibited widely, both at home and abroad. We are pleased to announce a new exhibition Where Echoes Rest which will display for the first time his last works, alongside a wide selection of earlier pieces, many of which have never before been shown, to provide a remarkable portrait of a remarkable painter.

Contextualising his last works in this way reveals how Martin is revisiting, rethinking and reworking many of his earlier themes and motifs, always in pursuit of his own singular vision. In this sense these last paintings represent a culmination and a distillation of a life's work, whose echoes do indeed here come to rest, and yet they remain restless, as Martin looks not merely to summarise but to transcend what has gone before. 'The greatest audacity', wrote Andre Gide, 'is that at the end of life', and these works show Martin still audacious, still striving, still seeking, still unyielding in his quest to grasp the thisness of things and to see into the nature of nature.

All works available for purchase will be listed on this site in the weeks prior to the exhibition.

 

Where Echoes Rest will be shown at Dalkeith Palace from 27th - 29th June, 2025.
