Martin LEMAN

making painting his main occupation. A turning point in Martin's career was a painting of a small tabby cat situated in a decorative interior. It sold immediately and so begun his long association with cats.

Martin Leman's cats are often depicted sitting in decorative interiors, although popularity of these paintings has been a theme that has provided endless variations. With many years experience of producing contemporary paintings of cats, Leman has mastered the application of exact colour combined with precise detail, bringing these charming feline creatures to life.

'Lisa' is obviously inspired by the famous painting 'Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci. Striking human looking features, matched with finely detailed whiskers and stripy fir of a cat, make this contemporary painting thought provoking and distinctive. As in many other Martin Leman paintings there is a strong element of humour. These elements of humour and surrealism do not detract from the sophisticated detail and fine brushwork throughout the painting.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Martin Leman has exhibited at other leading British and International Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Martin Leman artist studio and like all Red Rag British Art and Contemporary Art it can be shipped worldwide.
