MARTIN BLUNDELL


Executed with impasto brushwork and pallet knife application of oil paint, Martin Blundell’s landscape paintings are characterized by vibrant color and a focus on composition and design. Believing that his paintings take on their own identity through the interaction of processes recorded on canvas, the artist enjoys seeing traces of drawing, the finding of color through overpainting and simplification by brushstroke or pallet knife application of the final layers of paint.

 

Blundell began to pursue art after an elementary school teacher singled out his landscape watercolor painting as excellent. He was encouraged by a high school instructor to push forward with art studies and was recognized as a Utah High School Sterling Scholar in art. He then pursued a fine art degree at the University of Utah and later began a career in design.

 

Upon showing his drawings, prints, and mixed media works in local and national art competitions and shows, Blundell received acknowledgments and awards from the Utah Watercolor Society, the University of Utah, Bountiful Davis Art Center, Utah Arts Council and the Springville Museum of Art. Most recently, Blundell has been making still life, figure and landscape paintings for exhibition in group, one-man and invitational shows. He has completed numerous commissions and even completed a pro bono mural for the University of Utah Primary Childrens’ Hospital Forever Young Zone.
