Martin Askem is a London-born artist whose path as an artist has been shaped by a difficult childhood. As an early school-leaver he developed his career in retail until he decided to return to his childhood ambition, art. Primarily self-taught, he developed his techniques and monitored his successes and failures on Myspace under the watchful gaze of 6,000 community members, which has now grown to over 15,000. Martin has developed his own style, which he has entitled ‘Kushki’. This is his own representation of the human condition. This project is a culmination of life experiences and a reflection of society at large.
