MARTYN PERRYMAN - PAINTER

"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 the horizon free from the pressure and clutter of modern urban life".

I invite the viewer to join me in a contemplative position enabling the consolidation of past events and the consideration of future possibilities”.

Martyn lives with his partner the ceramic artist Mary Kaun English in North west Cornwall. Their house and studios are just a few minutes from the North cliffs and expansive beach of St Ives bay. Through the medium of oil on canvas he creates seascapes and landscapes focusing on the horizon.

Martyn has been walking the coastal paths and beaches near home for many years often stopping to make sketches and colour studies to use back at the studio. "for me there is no such thing as bad weather I enjoy the calmness of a summers day as much as the invigoration of a stormy winter walk, the sky full of movement and light as the clouds continually transform casting shadows across the landscape"
