The KLP33 Gallery
Welcome to the gallery
The KLP33 gallery is the online platform to the artwork of martin pollock, creating images in the style of realism, using traditional mediums and subject matter of the marine artist.
An underlying theme to the work is the effects of change, a very common theme but how it affects all that comes in contact with it can be very much the opposite.
Thank you for visiting the KLP33, in the gallery you'll find artwork for your contemplation, providing visual statements of how the effects of Change alter the looks and conditions of the lives of people it eventually touches and hopefully capturing the feeling of those moments within the images of the artworks and placing them firmly in the mind's eye and hopefully the heart of the viewer.
Please after this visit come back for another visit as new works are in progress and will find their way onto the gallery's walls in the near future.
In the meantime take care.
God bless and thank you again for visiting the KLP33.
Please note that the gallery is still under construction and at the time of going to publish elements are still to be added. Apologies for the inconvenience for any lack of information,

Title;
A beach benediction
In the scene the viewer is shown an old boat not appearing to be doing something but being something, the wooden structure of it's frame is slowly acted on by time and the elements to turn the old vessel into an offering to the stones that surround it.
Title; Another sea
In this scene again the story line is of an old wooden trawler, her stem facing slightly upward suggesting that she's meeting with oncoming water, behind her rail tracks hint at direction and movement, though standing still making way on this other sea.
Title; Adrift
Again the viewer gazes on an abandoned fishing boat, like the other members of her fleet she is cast off, time and tide being things that happen behind her, her future days numbered on this other sea.
Title; In passing
A couple pass by a remnant of an old fishing fleet, a piece of the beaches history it sits on, A lively breeze lifts the young woman's hair, it also moves tall grass some how making it appear like waves acting on the old boat, setting her in motion to follow behind on their morning walk, out of it's past and into their future.
Title; In passage
The sea gull in this scene is looking out for an opportunity to find food. The old abandoned fishing boat offers no chance of food, but it does offer the bird passage on its journey into the stones of the beach.
Title;
A dialogue of decades
Two vessels build many decades apart but to do the same work, one it's days behind her and sitting ashore, the other setting out on the tide taking it toward a catch and it's days on the sea.
Tit;e: Pulling on the past
In this artwork there is a statement of a wider picture, An old fishing boat has a phantom net being hauled in over it's stern, It has the bones of fish that have long since passed from reality. On the stone to the boats starboard sits it broken compass. an element of the old vessels past broken.
Title; Sentinel of the shoreline
Within this seascape a red light beacon off the south of English shoreline stands as a sentinel of the coast. Its steady light guides passing vessels through changing tides and weather, offering a constant point of reference in an ever changing sea.
Title;
Thames barge at Chelsea wharf
These two old traders stand alongside one and other, in a scene very reminiscent of those times when they played their part in the hustle and bustle of the trading rout that was the Thames.
Title; A communication of light
Very special moments can occur at any time and anywhere, when out of the blue and here a yellow sky by shear chance, or perhaps not, a special moment occurs out of something that happens millions of times a day a text message, that changes into a most unusual, surreal and beautiful instant.
Title;
The Emergence
In the abstract scene of this piece a fish emerges from a symbol cut into a submerged chalk face, the chalk broken and falling to the depths as the fish takes on form, it's movement into the sea set in motion by the powerful waves crashing on the cliffs in the background, The fish now about to begin it's journey into wide open ocean, it's shallows and the deep.
Above and below the moat
Two very different creatures swim in the same habitat, one breathing in water and in it's element, while the other on it. Only the duck is able to leave the moat but they seem to be able to share it's water and space without this fact being noticed by either of the two at all, and almost oblivious of one and other.
Boudicca on the Embankment
Title; The other side of the divide
In this artwork a moment or perhaps more a period of time that tears through the fabric of our realities and will enter into nearly everyone's life heralding loss. The loss here is a universal one, the viewer is given a real chance for interaction, the old boat in the foreground represents what has been lost, it fills a large portion of the image (the mind), the dog on the beach is where we need to be, able to see the full horizon, a boat on the sea representing what might have been, that other journey now not taken, it's passage soon lost from view and disappearing into the horizon.
Title; Boudicca
on the Embankment
Boudicca on the Embankment and her daughters look out east over the water of the river Thames in the city of London. In the scene below Friday evening traffic ferries home it's passengers to start their weekend for a change of pace, a time away from the weekly grind and the city's demands.
