A frequenter of auctions, markets and car boot sales (and a collector of many things), Martin Bell celebrates endless spreads of accumulated, disparate objects, brought together for a single moment then dispersed. This world in suspension is the space of his artwork and the reference point …
For Bell all things remain in the present while they are collected together in his consciousness. All his experience is current, including his youthful passions; there is no room for nostalgia in the densely populated visual worlds he creates, only his undimmed vitality.
