Selected Press Cuttings:
“That Martin Hill, a brilliant young Scottish colourist and an award-winning artist with paintings already in the Royal Scottish Academy’s permanent collection, is exhibiting here is a real coup for Carlisle.” – Cumberland & Westmorland Herald - 10-10-2014
“rising young Scottish star Martin Hill” - Carlisle Living - Issue 71 - September 2014
“expressive and poetic paintings” -galleries.co.uk -30-05-14
“his work has been described as expressive and distinctive, drawing on both landscape and figurative traditions.” -informededinburgh.co.uk -June 2014
“One of Scotland’s most exciting young painters” “His often highly compact and distilled paintings are expressive and dynamic.” -Artmag -May/June 2014

“Martin Hill, a Dundee graduate, also stands out with his bold, confident paintings of animals which manage to be at the same time both mythic and real.” – The Scotsman, RSA New Contemporaries Review – 05-04-2010
