"Tangled Up In Blue"
2026-03-04 11:00 - 2026-03-28 16:00
“Tangled Up In Blue”
An exhibition of new and revisited work by Martin Baldock
Resident Artist in Studio 3 at Rooftop Arts
The inspiration for much of my work comes from the music that has accompanied me through life, from my teenage years to the present day. A title or a line from a song will come to mind when I’m in the throes of creating a new work, or trying to resolve an older unfinished one that has been set aside for a while.
My work is only occasionally figurative, and while I admire artists who can capture the likeness of a person, a bowl of fruit, landscape, or a bunch of flowers, I’m more interested in the effects of colour, texture, line, and form. “Intuitive Abstraction” is probably the most succint description of my work, and my aim is to prompt the viewer to engage in some way, to experience a response relevant to them.
See more about Martin Baldock.

Drop by Rooftop Arts between 4th March 2026 and 28th March 2026 to enjoy this outstanding free exhibition.
Opening Reception
