Martine's work was selected by Grayson Perry for Art Club on Channel 4 and exhibited at Bristol Museum.
Some places stay with you long after you've left them. For Elliott, Cape Town returns not as a single image but as a collection of sensations: the constant call of vuvuzelas during the 2010 World Cup, the intensity of the light, the warmth of the air, and the extraordinary presence of Table Mountain rising above the city.
Rather than recalling the landscape as it was seen, this painting holds onto how it felt to be there. Layers of colour and expressive marks carry the energy of the city and the quiet permanence of the mountain, where movement and stillness exist side by side.
For Elliott, painting becomes a way of returning. Memory shifts and changes over time, but through paint it is possible to revisit a place—not as a record of what was there, but as an emotional landscape, shaped as much by feeling as by geography.
