Chalet Town presented a sequence of paintings by Colin Martin based on research undertaken by the artist in Europe and America. This series utilised the vernacular environment of a dormitory holiday town to create a narrative context in which the values and ‘states of mind’ that underpin and form communal space were explored.
Colin Martin is an artist and lecturer based in Dublin. He is currently Head of the RHA School and lectures part time in the NCAD Media Department. He is a graduate of DIT and NCAD and works in the medium of painting and film.
