Exhibition: Martin Kinnear 'Works from Regeneration'

“With deft brushstrokes and exuberant swathes of colour Kinnear elevates grittiness into something rich and magisterial …  Variously witty, beautiful and heartfelt and frequently all three.” (Cultured North East Jan 2020)

The Garden Rooms at Tennants is delighted to present ‘Works from Regeneration’ a show of smaller paintings executed by artist Martin Kinnear from 2019 to 2022 as he created his current major solo show ‘Regeneration’ which opened to critical acclaim from the BBC at The Bowes Museum, County Durham on 22^nd January this year having been postponed for two years during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Martin was described as ‘a true painter’ by the director of the Paris Salon when he was awarded the Medaille d’Argent in 2018.  Indeed Boris Johnson, who chose his work ‘Backstreet Burnley’ to hang as a visual reminder of the Government’s commitment to levelling up the North, said “Martin’s work has been dedicated to showcasing all the North has to offer.  When visitors enter Downing Street I’m delighted they are greeted with a visual reminder of the Government’s commitment to ensuring every part of the UK can thrive. We’ll continue to support the arts to flourish as we build back better from the pandemic.”

‘Works from Regeneration’ is a unique opportunity to view and purchase works from this quintessentially Northern artist whilst they are still affordable.
