Jay Martin

---
Jay is a UK‑based artist whose practice invloves working from collages developed in the studio, constructing paintings that are designed to engage and jump off a wall.
An early pasion for and a BA in Photography/film led him to merge that medium with painting, bringing a heightened sensitivity to detail, composition, and the mechanics of looking. His recent completion of the Turps Hastings off‑site programme provided sustained mentorship and the encouragement to refine his studio practice.
