Martin Boyce
Martin Boyce (b.1967) grew up on the outskirts of Glasgow and studied at Glasgow School of Art; he is one of the key figures in the influential group of artists to emerge from that city in recent years, representing Scotland at the Venice Biennale in 2009 and winning the Turner Prize in 2011. Boyce’s work in sculpture, installation and on paper derives from consideration of landscape as experienced every day in urban contexts. References to modernist designers such as Mies van der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames and Jean Prouvé, whose works inform the environments we live in, are significant tools in Boyce’s practice.
