Martin John Fowler is a fine artist working in the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire borders. He travels recording the wild coastal areas from the Scottish isles to the hidden coves of Cornwall. He was born and raised in the mining towns of South Yorkshire. He studied drawing and painting at Doncaster College of Art. He went on to study painting and printmaking at Sheffield College of Art, acquiring a BA (hons) in Fine Art.
We first noticed his work while walking past the window of Oriel y Bont in Aberystwyth town centre. We really love his paintings; they’re forged using bright, primary colours and are full of movement. Most of the paintings we’ve chosen to include in our montage come from Fowler’s The Prevailing Sense of Change series:
Drawing and painting working on my ongoing project intensified by the prevailing sense of change in Coastal working ports from childhood memories to the present which record and reflect the constant change and adaptions of an entire way of life. Recording in sketches and paintings
