London – The unit London: Will Martyr

One of our recently favourite galleries in the big smoke – The Unit London – stands out for giving space to young and restless artists. Will Martyr represents the bright future of mixed media art, creating staggering paintings, stemming from architectural photography. A worthy Hockney successor, Martyr displays his work in the atmospheric gallery, and trust us when we say “your eyes are about to meet their newest obsession.”

" It's Been A Long Time Coming ". Acrylic on canvas. 120cm x 160cm. The last of the pool paintings for my solo exhibition @theunitlondon opening 22nd June.

The 57th Venice Biennale is titled “Viva Art Viva” and lights the beacon for everyone who lives on the highest form of hope: art. And in these times, it’s much needed.
