David Martin (b.1975) is an artist living and working in Edinburgh. In his painting practice he aims to make work that reflects the state of the world we live in. He has a particular interest in travelling to places where he can explore themes of global change and transformation, and he approaches this by spending time drawing, photographing and documenting everyday life, using the material he gathers to create mixed media paintings that layer these narratives of personal encounter with material, signs and imagery indicating broader themes encompassing geopolitical shifts and societal transformation.
