BIOGRAPHY
Martyn Perryman, b.1963, has been an active member of Diesel House Studio's in Brentford, West London, since 2002. He believes the interaction and dialogue with fellow artists, and viewers of the work, plays an important part in the continuing development of his practice.
Through the mediums of oil on canvas and oil on paper, Martyn creates seascapes and landscapes, focusing on the horizon. For the past twenty years Martyn's family home has been in St. Ives Cornwall spending much of his time here, he takes inspiration from regular coastal walks. He graduated, with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and Design (First Class), from Wimbledon College of Art. Martyn's work is presently represented by two galleries in the UK and one in Santa Monica, California.
ARTIST STATEMENT
"... my intention is to produce an image that will trigger a past visual experience. To create the calmness and clarity of mind that can be achieved when looking out to a horizon; free from the pressure and visual clutter of urban life."
A meditation like this invites the viewer to join the artist in a contemplative position, enabling the consolidation of past events and the consideration of future possibilities.
NEWS
Martyn's work is currently showing at the Porthminster Gallery in St. Ives Cornwall, and was recently featured at the Affordable Art Fair, Battersea Park London.
