In this original screenprint on paper, John Martin evokes a landscape in minimal marks. Flashes of brown run either side, suggestive of earth, while a flash of red and orange recalls foliage browned under the Australian sun. 

Elegant and evocative, ‘Summer Song 2’ is a musical example of abstract expressionism. It will enliven collections of contemporary landscape art and interiors seeking a brush of colour. Rather than prescriptive, Martin presents nature as elusive, “inviting viewers to reconnect with places encountered but not precisely recalled.” What do you see?
