Martin Kane finds his inspiration in the bulldozed post-industrial wilderness of Glasgow, which forms the artistic vocabulary that he calls his “human psychological landscapes, rather than social documentaries.” 

His style and palette are fixed and assertive, a vista of strange landscapes, bleak urban tundra, and gaunt architecture in an awesome emptiness. The space he creates on his canvases is unique, his own carefully collaged terrain.
