Contemporary abstract paintings

This is the home of UK artist Martin Bush, where three decades of painting come together — take your time and discover his abstract view on our world.

And if you want a glimpse into what drives the work, here’s how he puts it:

“I like to play, and when I paint there’s an in‑built confidence that flows. There’s always that moment something happens — then I push it to see where it can go. I don’t like to play safe; I like to make that mistake, because that’s when it becomes something outside the norm.”

HOME GALLERY OPENING,

38 Beresford Street, Plymouth PL2 3AL

Come and visit my Home Gallery this November. Open Every Saturday throughout November

Throughout November I'll be opening my Home Gallery every Saturday from 11am to 3pm, and you're warmly invited to step inside my creative world. Come and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by paintings, from brand-new pieces to old favourites spanning 30 years of my artistic journey. There'll be a fresh cuppa waiting for you, and perhaps even a glass of wine. It's a chance to see where I work, discover what inspires me, and explore the many directions my art has taken over the years. There's absolutely no pressure, just plenty of art, good conversation, and a warm welcome. I always enjoy hearing people's thoughts on the paintings and, of course, selling a few is never a bad thing! There will also be plenty of smaller, affordable works available, perfect as unique Christmas gifts or stocking fillers.

About Martin Bush

Martin Bush is a contemporary abstract artist whose work is driven by colour, rhythm and the energy of lived experience. His paintings often evolve in series, exploring themes of memory, music and the changing atmosphere of place.

Working in layered acrylics, he builds surfaces that feel both spontaneous and considered, inviting viewers to spend time inside the painting rather than simply looking at it.

Tribute to Doc Price

Tribute to Doc Price

Doc was an amazing friend and known as the oldest living tattoo artist. He retired at 92 and passed at 93 on 4th Sept 2026. You were one of the best friends you could have. I’ll miss you always. R.I.P my friend.

A wonderful tribute to Doc with my sketch painting of him turned into this amazing massive banner and was unvailed on Union Street last Sunday at the famous Street party and will be on display for a while
