Martin Jacobs

The house of art has many rooms. In my room I’m interested in what I look at and how I see it. Perhaps there is an itch which prompts the need to explore through painting. Are there fresh insights to be revealed? The combination of place, internal emotional response and application of medium is compelling to explore.

“Martin is taking a concentrated repertoire of basic, pared down shapes and seeing how much poetry can be wrung from them”

Martin has participated in exhibitions over many years including at the Royal Watercolour Society of which he is a member (ARWS), Institute of Painters in Watercolour, Spink & Son, The Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, NEAC, ING Discerning Eye, Linden Hall Studio and has work in a number of collections including HRH Princes of Wales.
