Contemporary abstract paintings
This is the home of UK artist Martin Bush, where three decades of painting come together — take your time and discover his abstract view on our world.
And if you want a glimpse into what drives the work, here’s how he puts it:
“I like to play, and when I paint there’s an in‑built confidence that flows. There’s always that moment something happens — then I push it to see where it can go. I don’t like to play safe; I like to make that mistake, because that’s when it becomes something outside the norm.”

About Martin Bush
Martin Bush is a contemporary abstract artist whose work is driven by colour, rhythm and the energy of lived experience. His paintings often evolve in series, exploring themes of memory, music and the changing atmosphere of place.
Working in layered acrylics, he builds surfaces that feel both spontaneous and considered, inviting viewers to spend time inside the painting rather than simply looking at it.
