Martin Leman prints
Martin Leman is one of the world’s most prolific painters of cats - a subject he has made his own through countless exhibitions around the world, huge publishing successes and book sales of over half a million. He also has the rare achievement of receiving critical acclaim as well gaining mass popularity.
His work has been regularly exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Shows and in the past has hung in a group show with some of the greatest names in 20th Century British Art. His latest book ‘Martin Leman’s Cats’ with a foreword by Sir Roy Strong, has already sold-out and a second edition is in production.
In 2004, we commissioned ‘Horatio the Dockyard Cat‘, an original oil painting by Martin Leman. It depicts a ginger cat named after Lord Horatio Nelson in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The background includes HMS Victory’s masts (which can be seen from our gallery) and a Georgian storehouse (in the same style as the one our gallery lives in). This picture is one of Martin Leman’s best pictures and is sure to be loved by followers of the naïve animal art genre.
We turned the original into two exclusive prints (a small and a large) and a greetings card. All these are available from our gallery and our webshop, as well as other prints by Martin Leman, including some rare limited edition etchings.
