Martin Enander - Gallery Skriketorp

Images to rest in and images that evoke thoughts.

Martin has been painting since the late 60s. At first oil, then watercolor and acrylic.

In the latter half of the 70s, he lived in Gothenburg. Painted there in the evenings at Gustavus primus painting school, which was located in old Haga, at that time mostly demolition properties. Also drew sketches at Chalmers with the architects in the evening. During the day, Martin studied medicine. In 1981 he moved to Sundsvall, where he became a member of Sundsvall's collective workshop.

In the early 80s, he also had the privilege of taking a course with Arne Isacsson, Gerlesborg School. Arne was, and is, an icon in watercolor painting. One of his catchphrases is that the watercolor technique can be summed up in three words: "Use more water". Arne also revived the interest in the grammar of the picture, and the harmony of the colors, the different characteristics of the pigments.

It was Martin's first course at the Gerlesborg school, since then there have been many more, for Lars Holm, Anders Wallin, Lasse Andreasson and others.

In Sundsvall and up in Ångermanland, on the high coast, they had meetings with other inspiring artists, i.a. Thage Nordholm, Johan Lundgren and Hans Erik Öberg

In recent years, Martin has had several recurring teachers and sources of inspiration, including Anders Wallin, Gunnel Moheim, Håkan Lager, and others. For a number of years, he has been a member of the Åkerbokonstnärnerna på norra Öland, a group that celebrated its 2018th anniversary in 50.

Member of Åkerbokonstnärna.
