Martin Squires

Martin Squires has an obsession with motor powered transport. Be it anything from
a humble New Hudson Autocycle right up to an Aero Powered Bentley Special and
anything in between.

This obsession started through a family connection with Morgan Three Wheelers and
various British Motorcycles: Matchless, AJS, Brough Superior to name a few.
Combining this obsession with a natural talent for painting Martin has developed a
distinctive style which evokes motoring days gone by. Inspired by vintage photographs
with overexposed and high contrast imagery Martin uses a variety of mediums to
capture the pioneers and enthusiasts of the past and present.

As well as illustrating various modes of transport Martin takes an active interest in his
various subjects using each piece as a chance to find out more about motoring history.
Having the opportunity to talk to enthusiasts and occasionally get the chance to see
their collections is just as important to Martin as producing a piece of art as it gives
him an opportunity to understand his subject, allowing him to produce accurate and
pertinent tribute to every subject he paints.

Martin regularly exhibits at various motoring events throughout the UK and Europe
as well as exhibiting internationally. If you are interested in commissioning an original
piece from Martin feel free to contact him directly.
