Show Notes

In episode three I talked to the artist Will Martyr in his studio in Deptford, South London.

 At the time of the conversation he had just completed a successful solo show at Unit Gallery, London and was currently working on several large commissions. I used to share a studio with Will so it was great to catch up in his new large studio. 

Wills colourful hard edge paintings depict luxury interiors and the surrounding landscape. Alluding to an aesthetic of affluence; his paintings are influenced by Pop art of the early 1960's.

Will trained at The Slade School of Fine Art, London, The New York Studio School, NYC and The Royal College of Art, London.

He is represented by 'Unit London' and has work in various high profile, international private and corporate collections worldwide. Selected collections include: Creative Cities Collection, Chinese Gov, Beijing; Al Quasimi Royal Collection, Sharjah, UAE; ABN AMRO, Sydney, Australia; Black Ocean Development, Stockholm, Sweden; RJI Captial, London, UK.
