British Art: Paintings by John Martin
John Martin says "It is difficult to say what inspires me, as art and painting is about many issues and some paintings are more specifically Read more
inspired than others."
John Martin usually takes a long time to explore the subject for his contemporary paintings - so it is only after three or four studies or even a few years that he begins painting.
Quite often John Martin will use the drama of sunlight as a key feature in his contemporary paintings.
In this John Martin painting - Summer Patio - he has arranged the objects outside d used the sunlight to achieve drama. It captures a fleeting moment in time - recording the beauty of the sunlight and shadows which fill this small space.
