Brotherswater (Plein Air) Painting

Martin Clarkson is an early career visual artist based in Nottingham, he is currently working amongst a community of creatives at 'Fishergate Point Studios'. Clarkson graduated from Loughborough University in 2012, since then he has participated in exhibitions extensively across the United Kingdom, alongside collaborating in overseas residencies and international exhibitions. Clarksons recent paintings intertwine the natural world with the nature of paint. These paintings offer the viewer a chance to immerse themselves into an unfamiliar place of wonder and fascination, whilst presenting a moment to pause and be inspired by the reality of our beautiful yet fragile 'One Planet' . Beneath the painted aesthetics, Clarksons' practice echo's a somber tone towards the shifting states of our planet, and how the cost of human intervention is impacting the natural balance of each ecosystem and the flora and fauna within it.
