February's Featured Customer at Fletchers - Martin Bradshaw, local Artist

Martin begin his working life as a professional cellist having studied at Trinity College of Music, London; joining the BBC Concert Orchestra in 1980. During this period he developed an interest in painting, particularly with watercolour. Then left the BBC in 1991 to study at Camden School of Art and subsequently Chelsea College of Art and Design. Since then he has divided time between painting and working as a free-lance cellist.

In 2006, Martin moved to Rye in order to concentrate on painting, gathering material for his work locally.

Architectural subjects are a source of inspiration for my work; Martin's watercolours reflect a particular fascination with the resonant effects created by light and space in an architectural context - the bold, vivid use of colour complementing and liberating the restricting lines of a structure, producing a strong sense of drama and atmosphere.

Martin is more than happy to take commissions for paintings and illustrations. If you would like to discuss having a unique watercolour painted for you please email him.mt.bradshaw@virgin.net

Also great news Martin is currently taking ownership of Martello's Book Shop, in Rye High Street, which is due to happen fingers crossed on 1st July. There is a website being put together currently, which will give up-to-date news of events, books & book related products. i will keep you posted !

For more details of Martins work take a look at his website, www.martinbradshaw.co.uk , also you can see  here at Fletchers have a large amount of his work displayed within the Restaurant, pop in have a look, have a coffee while your here.
