Martin Boyce

Martin Boyce is a Scottish sculptor, born in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire in 1967, who lives and works in Glasgow. He studied environmental art at Glasgow School of Art and builds installations that rework the forms of early twentieth century modernist design, such as the concrete trees of Jan and Joel Martel, into melancholy, atmospheric landscapes. He represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale in 2009. He won the Turner Prize in 2011 with Do Words Have Voices, an autumnal park shown at BALTIC in Gateshead.
