Why Commission a Bespoke Artwork?

A commissioned painting gives you the opportunity to own something truly personal: an original artwork created around the subject, scale, palette and atmosphere you want. It may be inspired by a favourite car, an iconic aircraft, a treasured object, a space in your home, or an idea you would like brought to life through paint.

Unlike buying off the shelf, commissioning allows the artwork to feel deeply connected to you while still carrying Martin Allen’s distinctive style, energy and painterly character.

Commission FAQs

Can I commission a painting in a similar style to an artwork I already like?
