Martin J Leighton
I have been painting with oils on
canvas for the past 45years and
turned professional in 2003. I
work from my studio by the
beautiful harbour side in
Weymouth and am inspired by
the sea and landscape around
me. However, I really enjoy
painting the human form,
especially women, as it's a
constant challenge to capture
their sensuality, mood and the
atmosphere they can portray.
Portraits are a speciality which
can capture a moment in time of
your life and be a gift to last a
lifetime. My work is in private
collections throughout the UK
and in Australia and South Africa.

Constantin Brncui
February 19, 1876 March 16,
1957 was a Romanian sculptor,
painter and photographer who
made his career in France.
Considered a pioneer of
modernism, one of the most
influential sculptors of the 20thcentury, Brncui is called the
patriarch of modern sculpture. As
a child he displayed an aptitude
for carving wooden farm tools.
Formal studies took him first to
Bucharest, then to Munich, then
to the cole des Beaux-Arts in
Paris from 1905 to 1907. His art
emphasizes clean geometrical
lines that balance forms inherent
in his materials with the symbolic
allusions of representational art.
Brncui sought inspiration in
non-European cultures as a
source of primitive exoticism, as
did Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso,
Andr Derain and others. But
other influences emerge from
Romanian folk art traceable
through Byzantine and Dionysian
traditions.
19
Early years
Brncui grew up in the village
of Hobia, Gorj, near Trgu Jiu,
close to Romania's Carpathian
Mountains, an area known for
its rich tradition of folk crafts,
particularly woodcarving.
Geometric patterns of the
region are seen in his later
works.
