Martin Grover

Martin Grover’s screenprints offer little paeans to iconic traffic signs, bus stops, buses, and to destinations or states of mind reached and those elusive ones so often glimpsed or imagined but always tantalisingly just out of reach.

A love of collecting old 45’s led him to embark on a series of record portraits. The songs and artists maybe the main attraction but the graphics, design and ephemeral nature of the ageing paper sleeves are of equal fascination. A nostalgic celebration and also a lament they provide a poignant reminder of a golden age which continues to resonate and delight despite its predicted demise.
