Jason Martin
Jason Martin Cv
Drawing from Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, Martin's work stands between painting and sculpture. Using layers of oil or acrylic gel on hard reflective stainless steel, aluminum or Perspex, he fashions comb-like pieces of metal or board to move the paint across the surface in one movement, often repeating it again and again, until the perfect balance of paint, translucence and striation is achieved. Paintings materialise in successive waves through continuous movements, accentuating the dynamism of the surface, as well as the implication of the artist's body and gesture. What Jason Martin focuses on is a way of modelling the surface in order to catch the light, exploring matters almost linked to sculpture, and resulting in an extraordinary and improbable marriage of abstraction and illusion of depth.Jason Martin lives and works in London.
