Mad Cat Cabaret

Painted during lockdown with the help of the lovely and beautiful Mad Cat burlesque dancer. One of a series of 2 burlesque artworks. Slightly edgy and thought provoking both paintings depicting the alluring Mad Cat Burlesque dancer. This painting is Oil on linen and is 80cm x 60cm, framed in a simple black tray frame.

Artist Martin Allen

is a London based. Martin came to oil painting through a circuitous route, having drawn for most of his life and being largely self-taught he was eventually re-introduced to oil painting as a preferred medium to create his varied and diverse work. The methods he uses to paint are classic ones, using layered paint applications rounded off by oil glazes. These create, add depth and harmonise colours. He has shown solo numerous times at Goodwood, The Affordable Art Fair and others, been a finalist at the ‘London art Biennale 2019’, alongside various commissions including work for the BP Shipping collection.

The original painting of “Mad Cat Cabaret” is Oil on linen 60cm x 80cm. The 100 A2 pigment prints are printed on heavy Somerset Velvet paper and a few remain.
