ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Join us for a special one-night-only pop-up exhibition celebrating the 80th birthday of local artist Martin Raven. This intimate evening showcase features 80 specially selected artworks, offering a rare glimpse into eight decades of Martin’s artistic journey.

From his very first painting at sixteen to his most recent works, this collection reflects Martin’s lifelong passion for capturing the everyday—through watercolour, sculpture, and a uniquely observant eye. Expect everything from vivid landscapes to playful perspectives, each piece echoing Martin’s distinctive view of the world.

A beloved member of our weekly art group and a regular at Left Bank, Martin has inspired many with his story—from his beginnings in Dumfries and Cumbria, to painting during recovery in the 1970s, to his creative life in Leeds today.

Don’t miss this one-evening-only celebration of art, life, and memory.

“I have quite a collection of memories. I hope you enjoy them!”
— Martin Raven, Artist
