About the Item
Martin Yeoman is a figurative oil painter and a member of the New English Art Club. His work is founded upon the traditional values he believes firmly in – that painting first and foremost should possess honesty, feeling and integrity. We asked him about his well known portraits and figure paintings.
: Apart from the obvious, the big difference was that the dancers were in motion, which I wanted to give a sense of. I made most of my paintings of that subject from drawings and memory, only a very few were painted directly from life. When I was asked to make the portrait sketch of the D-Day Veteran Laurie Weeden (below), I worked directly from him. He sat very still. At first I thought making a sketch would suit me very well. In reality the changing natural light in the sitter’s kitchen caused the most problems. I made a couple of drawings to start with and overall worked on four canvases of the same specific size. In the end I chose the canvas where all that can be seen was completed within the one session, so as to comply with the idea of making a sketch, the very last one as it turned out and the one that is now in the Royal Collection
Martin Yeoman is regarded as one of the most gifted painters to emerge from the Royal Academy Schools in the late 1970s. His work is both painterly and poetic, and largely influenced by his travels around the world as a young artist.

Martin Yeoman
Martin Yeoman was born in 1953 and studied with Peter Greenham at the Royal Academy Schools, London, from 1975 to 1979. He was awarded scholarships that allowed him to further study in Spain. After returning to England, he was commissioned by the National Trust and most notably by the Royal Family. Among his subjects to date are Her Majesty The Queen's grandchildren, for the 40th anniversary of her reign, Sir Alan Hodgkin OM, Sir Brinsley Ford and the former Bishop of Birmingham Hugh Montefiori. He has accompanied HRH Prince of Wales on official overseas tours to teach the Prince to paint. The first was a tour of the Gulf States in 1986 and Yeoman went on to join the Prince on tours to Hong Kong, India and Nepal. Awarded the Ondaatje Prize for portraiture in 2002, he now teaches at the Royal Drawing School and is a member of the New English Art Club. Collections of Yeoman's work are now held by The British Museum, The National Trust, The National Portrait Gallery, the Diocese of Birmingham, Grimsby School of Art, HM The Queen, HRH the Prince of Wales and HRH the Princess Royal.

Nude Dancer at Browns Martin Yeoman Figurative Oil Painting Impressionist Framed
By Martin Yeoman
Located in Pollenca, Illes Baleares
Martin is also a brilliant portrait painter. His work is intimate and affectionate; it comes across as a process in which there's a strong emotional participation. He asked this lady to sit for him after spotting her resemblance with one of Rembrandt's portrait ( on show now at the Late Works show at the National Gallery). The delicacy of this piece is remarkable and one of the most moving painting of old age I have seen in recent years.One of my favourite bodies of work that he has produced is this series of paintings and drawings of Pole Dancers. He painted these from sketches made in Soho strip clubs, as a last row visitor who sees the scene through the filter of the old masters. There's the nude, the overtly sexy nude under cheesy coloured lights, and there's the indistinct mob watching, trying to touch and who knows what else they are up to. Lautrec and Degas come to mind for these paintings that talk about women, men, power, loneliness
