Paul Martin

Paul (b. Bournemouth, 1948) began his studies in the late 1960s at Birmingham School of Art, a college dominated by Abstract Expressionism, before moving to the Royal Academy whose more traditional methods focused largely on life-drawing.

Paul has exhibited widely both at home and abroad, and has work in the collections of The Royal Academy, The British Museum and the BBC. Over the course of his career he has garnered many awards including The British Institution prize for Printmaking and The Royal Academy Awards for Painting and Printmaking.

Doubtfire Gallery was introduced to Paul in 2010 when he enthusiastically recommended for exhibiting, a number of artists who had been tutored by him during his time at Leith School of Art.

We learned from these artists of the huge influence Paul has been on their work and of the intricate and skilful techniques he encouraged them to experiment with in their creative journey. We continue to show some of these artists and we are delighted now to welcome Paul in a solo exhibition at Doubtfire "THEheaRTOfmAtTeR", his first ever showing here.
