| Martin Broadbent
(1944 - )
Born in 1944 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, Martin Broadbent
studied from 1963-1967 at the Leeds College of Art and Design
and then for a year at the Hertfordshire College of Art and Design.
After spending nine years teaching in Londin, in 1977 he began
printmaking, initially working as a lithographic printer with
Alan Cox of Sky Editions in an old warehouse overlooking the
Thames. In 1979 he established his own lithographic studio, Ingham
Press, first in London and now in Gloucestershire. He has earned
a high reputation and respect as a masterprinter and, amongst
others, he has worked with Trevor Grimshaw, George Guest, Bryan
Organ and more recently Terry Millington. Broadbent, however,
has always regarded himself primarily as an artist. In recent
years, it is this side of his work that has become increasingly
important as he has won major painting and print commissions
from influential companies. He held his first one man show in
1984 at Business Interiors in Bristol, following a major commission
for prints and paintings from the CEGB. He has also participated
in many group exhibitions in the UK.
