Martyn Brewster’s abstract paintings are strongly linked to the English landscape. Walks along the coast near his home in Dorset inspire drawings and he explores these ideas in his paintings. Through the application of paint to the canvas Brewster wanted the atmosphere and subtleties of the countryside and nature to be absorbed into his work. Brewster uses oil on canvas or he paints using acrylics & collage which adds a wonderful textural element to the artwork.

Brewster has had retrospective exhibitions at the Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, 1997; the Royal West of England Academy, 2001; and the Study Gallery of Modern Art, Poole, 2003, amongst others. He has won numerous awards and has work in private, public and corporate collections worldwide. Public collections include the Victoria & Albert Museum, British Museum, Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Arts Institute at Bournemouth and Bournemouth University.
