Collector Quality Fine Art Photography
by Artist Kenny Martin b. 1974
Welcome. When you have carried a camera around with you for as long as I have you generate a photographic archive.
The Print shop features some of the best work from my 30 year career as a visual artist.
Limited edition prints are available in a range of sizes and formats to suit and transform all collector spaces.
Every archival quality print is a front row seat that transport the collector right there into the campfire circle where the visual magic happened.
These artworks contain a unique refined natural aura and they broadcast this into the room they anchor. This phenomena works large scale and can best be described as a Photo Visit.
Imagine the benefits to your life coming home to one of these limited edition pieces on your wall?
I have been selling my original artwork since 1997 and 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 am passionate about fine art ideas, camping out in nature and photography; combining these to create dynamic artwork that communicates an artistic and meditative focal point.
I hope you enjoy the work on the website which is taken from my personal art projects.
Drawn to Fire Collection
What the work means to me and my why
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 has always been important to me. my primary aim when making my Drawn to Fire artworks. 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.
I am now releasing prints from my Drawn to Fire: Ritual fire drawing and photography portfolios.
Spending the night keeping the campfire going, experiencing the different light forms within a location, waiting for an alignment of the available fire, moon and star light to emerge.
Sometimes I would merge this with creative light directed by my own hand and result in a piece of visual dynamite that would literally blow me away.
My gallery-quality fine art prints share that feeling, that emotion and that artistic freedom. The process is built upon patience and persistence to create and commitment to remain in the location all night come what may.
When you invest in my work you receive a work of art containing the essence of my experience and spirit. My work is for serious collectors who appreciate art of the finest quality that transmits a unique aesthetic exploring the notion of an artistic and meditative focal point.
Performances around campfires in remote places explore the mark-making potential of fire in the darkness, the elements and the senses.
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.
The print quality is absolutely stunning, gallery-class produced by highly respected fine art photographic studios.
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 in Southern France. Passionate about picture framing, photography, and camping. I live a 1 hour drive from Toulouse International Airport / Blagnac and a 45min drive from Tarbes-Lourdes Airport.
Collectors wishing to visit my studio in person are welcome by prior appointment.
