Martin Llewellyn - Landscapes 2020

Martin Llewellyn Exhibition

Martin Llewellyn was born in Neath in 1963. He is a self-taught painter who has been painting for over 20 years. Originally working using watercolours, Llewellyn has developed into an accomplished painter of oils with his trade mark use of palette knife and limited palette of colours.

Martin Llewellyn lives in South Wales and is constantly inspired by the Welsh landscape. He draws his principle inspiration from the rugged mountain range of Snowdonia and the dramatic coastline around Anglesey and North Wales. Like most Welsh painters of his generation the influence of Kyffin Williams is ever present in his art work but his palette knife technique is finer and generally worked on a much smaller scale. Other artists who have influenced Llewellyn include Charles Wyatt Warren and Gwilym Prichard.

Talking about the progression of his art Martin says: “One Christmas my wife Allison bought me some coloured pencils. That was nearly twenty years ago now and I remember starting with some drawings and then went on to paint using watercolours. For the past ten years I have concentrated on oil painting. I’ve been painting much more seriously for the last five years and I’m completely self-taught from books and DVD’s.”

Martin produces richly textured paintings using a subtle, muted palette that beautifully captures the distinctive atmosphere of North Wales. He is equally skilled in depicting the drama of Snowdonia or the Irish Sea breaking against the shores of Anglesey.
