Martyn Brewster
"My primary concern has always been with painting. I have never ceased to be fascinated
and enthralled by the tactile and evocative qualities of paint, oil paint especially.
Early on, I developed a particular interest in colour and abstraction which is the key to
my work, coupled with a lyrical and poetic response to both Nature and the medium.
I have always loved the related activities of drawing and printmaking. The drawings
represent a more direct response to nature and all are done outside, in front of the
motif. It is a challenge to deal with light and shade, space and atmosphere, and to find
new compositions amongst such an endless multitude of forms. The prints are the opposite,
and allow for a complete absorption in colour and abstraction free from any directly
associated references. Drawing influences printmaking, which affects painting and so on,
each practice constantly enriching and extending the other, and inspiring new work."
