Kenny Martin Gallery
Presenting fine art photography in french oak picture frames – direct from hands and heart of Artist Kenny Martin b. 1974
Welcome to a special place where nature, inspiration and wonder can intertwine and connect in art.
Where striking art pieces whisper gently to those who can see, feel and appreciate their own sensory response.
The art effect is uplifting, calming and meditative.
These stunning art pieces bring a soothing woodland, warming campfire magic vibe into homes helping create cosy interior spaces of contemplation.
My art comes from a place outside of time, a still point where time stands on its edge; where the camp fire can gently burn away under a sky filled with stars and moon.
Experiencing and celebrating the elements and the senses first hand is always my primary aim when making my Drawn to Fire photographs. I seek to “capture an ancient light” by immersing myself within an improvised artists studio in the woods where I can become meshed with the location in a way that only camping out allows. Spending the night keeping the campfire going, preserving the different light forms within a composition, an alignment of the light is merged into an artistic and meditative focal point.
I am now releasing prints from my Drawn to Fire: Ritual fire drawing and photography
Performances around campfires in remote places explore the mark-making potential of fire in the darkness, the elements and the senses.
Using fire as paint Kenny Martin takes us on a journey into the sublime.
When I make this work I depend heavily on my bushcraft and camping skills just being able to dwell in the woods all night long, observe the changes in the location and capture an ancient light.
Remember the words: nature, inspiration and wonder.
Collector Quality Fine Art Photography
I personally view each of my collector quality prints as front row seats that transport the owner to right there within the campfire circle.
The print quality is absolutely stunning, gallery-class produced by respected fine art photographic studios in the world.
I have been selling my original artwork since 1997 and fine art prints online from 2006. I have shipped prints all over the world to collectors in Scotland, England, France, Spain, Germany, Finland, Greece, Australia, USA, Japan and Hong Kong.
I have been a full time visual artist and framer for nearly 30 years. Mounting and framing my own artwork and other artists work for numerous exhibitions.
I live in Libaros, Hautes-Pyrénées, department 65 in Southern France. Passionate about picture framing, photography, bushcraft and the french way of life. I live a 1 hour drive from Toulouse Blagnac Airport and 45mn drive from Tarbes-Lourdes Airport.
When you have carried a camera around with you for as long as I have you generate an archive.
The highlights of my creative work will feature as prints of collector quality fine art photography.
I hope you enjoy the work.
