Past Show
A River
by Marc Martin
16 Apr – 9 May, 2015

Jacky Winter is pleased to present A River, a book launch and solo
exhibition by Marc Martin. To celebrate the launch of Marc Martin’s latest literary offering, A River, Lamington Drive is hosting an exhibition of artwork from the book, accompanied by new drawings and sculptures inspired
by the pages within.
Filled with vibrant colours and richly textured landscapes, A River—published
by Penguin Books Australia—immerses the viewer on a journey through cityscapes, farmland, forest, jungle, and vast oceans. The work captures diverse environments, flora and fauna, depicted in a kaleidoscopic array of colours and signature techniques.
Martin’s current work combines gouache, watercolour, pencil and scanned textures to form uniquely vivid and intricate illustrations that capture the imagination and carry the viewer to a place of curiosity and wonder.
Marc Martin is an illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. Marc’s work is a world of dense colour, rich textures and the odd scribble. He draws inspiration
from his surroundings, nature, travel and the city he lives in. He has worked for clients such as Monocle, Wired magazine, The Financial Review, Capital magazine, The Australian Centre for the Moving Image and various festivals.
He is also the author and illustrator of four books: ‘A Forest’ (Penguin Books, 2012), ‘The Curious Explorers Illustrated Guide to Exotic Animals A-Z’ (Penguin
Books, 2013), ‘Max’ (Penguin Books, 2014) and the newly released ‘A River’ (Penguin Books, 2015).
