Martin Lever has lived, studied and worked in Hong Kong
on and off for nearly 40 years.One of the biggest
inspirations in his life is this unique city he calls
home. His contemporary artwork has been exhibited in
a number of solo shows in Hong Kong, the UK and the
Middle East. His work adorns the walls of private
collectors, and commissioned pieces hang in corporate
lobbies from Wheelock & Wharf to the McKinsey
corporation to Patton Boggs Law.
His approach to painting is refreshingly simple: he closes his eyes, then paints what he sees. Using striking contrasts of colour and lighthearted observational touches, he creates powerful abstract and pop-art impressionist images that celebrate the world around us through a new lens. Beyond art, his creative work has been recognised around the world with countless advertising industry awards. And his acclaimed series of children’s books – The BogeyBugz – is helping fuel young imaginations.
