Martha Lamont

Martha Lamont is an emerging artist whose work explores introspective experiences through the creation of psychologically-charged, symbolic environments. Her fantastical paintings, with their characteristic palette of lilacs, pinks and blues, reveal worlds that balance science with imagination.

Martha’s primary inspiration is sci-fi botany, where metaphorical flora is formed through the warping of reality. In her images, medicinal and toxic plants, microbiology, animals, and the human body are combined and distorted. Trees dissolve, socks become sea urchins, flowers breathe, and skies mimic oceans. These paintings, and the worlds that they create, aim to challenge our perception of what a space is, whilst interrogating our life experiences. She says; ‘I see my paintings as little worlds, balanced on the fringes of reality and imagination. Worlds that ride on the edge of cynicism and beauty- certainty never in reach.’  

Martha studied at Wimbledon School of Art and completed an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds in 2023. She has exhibited widely in London with galleries including Sid Motion Gallery, Wilder Gallery, Soho Revue, Alice Black Gallery, Outhouse Gallery, and D Contemporary, and also shown at El Castillete in Madrid, Spain. Her work has been featured in t’ART Magazine and Suboart Magazine. Alongside her practice she teaches skill-based art classes and is the co-host and founder of The Healthy Artist podcast. Having been based in south east London for several years, she has recently re-located to Bristol.

We are looking forward to showing new work by Martha in our January 2026 group exhibition ‘Music From Out There’. Request a catalogue.
