Molly Martin: Artist in Focus

London Art Fair 2023

16th January – 21nd January 2023

Stand 11, Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, Islington

We are delighted to be introducing new graduate Molly Martin with a series of oil drawings on panel and small paintings at the upcoming London Art Fair.

The poetic and emotional nature of Molly’s work combines compositional references to Ken Kiff, Marc Chaghall and Charlotte Salomon with the artists own vision as she observes the complexities of human behaviour within social interactions and relationships – questioning feelings around power, confusion, anxiety, pressure, expectation alienation and regret!

We have recently stocked our Print Shop will all available works by Molly Martin.

About

Molly Martin trained at Falmouth, and is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds in London.

Through drawing, printmaking and painting, Molly endeavours to better process complicated human relationships and interactions, and observe them through a wider lens of humour and playfulness. Her work is figurative, and often plays with narratives that speak of overall themes rather than a specific story.

Here, semi-swaddled, squashed figures encounter strange and symbolic surroundings in chaotic and ambiguous landscapes.
