Art by Martin Stephen inspired by the abstract expressionist movement from the 1940’s / 50’s. (In particular : Pollock, Joan Mitchell, Alan Davie, Gorky, Kandinsky, Basquiat.)

Martin writes … 

My visual imagery is derived from imagination as I combine art, music and language in the form of symbols, signs and words to create with spontaneity and expression. My paintings begin ‘in the moment’ allowing a myriad of shapes and ideas to emerge. It’s about letting the paint interpret my mood and thoughts to reveal imagery with emotion. The challenge : to create work in balance, in harmony. Sentimentality has no place for me in this process with favourite areas of the picture often discarded without hesitation. It’s about capturing the moment, with the urge to create, I improvise with colour and shape and experiment with musical harmony too. My journey into the unknown brings expression and emotion reflecting the spiritual.
