Pause – Artwork by Caroline Martin

Pause – Artwork by Caroline Martin 

‘Pause’ is an original acrylic and mixed media artwork on canvas panel by East Sussex artist Caroline Martin. Available at KATA in Tunbridge Wells, this contemporary abstract piece reflects the calm, intuitive quality that runs through Caroline’s wider practice.

Caroline’s work is deeply influenced by water, sky, colour and the natural world. Working from her home studio in East Sussex, she develops each piece through an instinctive process of layering, expressive mark-making and experimentation. Acrylic and mixed media allow her to build depth and movement, while music and colour help guide the rhythm and energy of the composition as it evolves.

The title ‘Pause’ suggests a moment of stillness, reflection and space. This sense of quiet contemplation sits naturally within Caroline’s approach to abstraction, where expressive energy is balanced by a feeling of serenity. Rather than presenting a literal landscape or fixed narrative, her work leaves room for personal interpretation, inviting the viewer to slow down and form their own connection with the piece.

Created on canvas panel, ‘Pause’ measures 44 x 54cm. Its proportions give it enough presence to stand confidently on its own while remaining versatile for a wide range of interiors. It would work beautifully in a living room, bedroom, hallway, study or other considered space where a piece of contemporary art can bring atmosphere and character.

Caroline Martin is known for creating one-off artworks that combine layered surfaces, colour and expressive mark-making with a sense of balance and calm. Her intuitive process gives each piece its own individual character, while the recurring influence of water, sky and the natural world creates a clear thread through her practice.

‘Pause’ is a thoughtful choice for collectors looking for original contemporary abstract art with a calm, expressive presence and the individuality of a one-off artwork.
