Ken Martin (Australian sculptor)
Ken Martin (born 1952) is a South Australian sculptor.
History
Ken began sculpting professionally in wood, in 1975.
He undertook a study tour of Great Britain and Italy in 1992, to coincide with a showing of his work in the Royal Academy of Arts' "Summer Exhibition" in London, which coincided with a commitment to bronze as his favoured medium. Since then the majority of his work has been commissioned representational studies.
