(1969 - )
Martin Kinnear was born in 1969 in Lancashire where he was brought up. He is a self-taught artist who after a stroke in 2004, that left him paralysed on his left side, changed his mode of painting to emphasise ‘the experiential and possible, over …observational painting’. He was awarded the silver medal at the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts Salon, Paris and a solo exhibition of his work was held at The Bowes Museum in 2020. Kinnear currently lives and works in Yorkshire.
