| Martin
Caulkin was born in Birmingham in 1945. He studied Graphics and Illustration
at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts. In the mid-sixties he moved to
London as a freelance illustrator and a teacher of drawing and painting.In
the late seventies his work was published in print form and distributed
successfully worldwide. This allowed him to move from London to rural
Worcestershire - a move which prompted a shift away from figurative work to
an intensely personal treatment of landscape.
The Independent in a review
of the RA Summer Show said..."Martin Caulkin is exceptional. He has
brilliantly mastered the presentation of incongruous modernity in a timeless
landscape."
Martin became a member of the R.I. and the RBSA in 1983. He has exhibited
regularly at the Royal Watercolour Society and the RA Summer Shows.
His work has been selected
for various competition shows (including the Singer and Friedlander/Sunday
Times Competition) and is in collections in the USA, Canada, Australia,
Holland and the UK.
