"PAINTED WITH A PASSION
The first thing you notice about Martin Laurances's paintings are their sheer power. Large and full of vibrant and often intense colour they reach out to you with their energy and confidence. They're skilfully composed, painted with passion and at times full of motion..." Sonia Carvill East Anglian Daily Times
"LANDSCAPES WITH THE ENERGY TO TRANSFORM
...full of energy, light and colour, [they] express the dynamics of landscape while breaking free from orthodox perspective..." Richard Inman, Eastern Daily Express
