Jason Martin
Jason Martin Cv
Taking inspiration from both Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, Jason Martin makes paintings about paint: its materiality, sculptural presence and transformative, alchemical nature. The energy of Martin’s process is palpable in the rich swathes of colour applied in thick, fluid, overlaid brushstrokes. Light plays across the sculpted surface echoing the dynamism and vigour of its creation. In addition to oil on aluminium or stainless steel paintings, Martin also works in pure pigment - vividly intense, richly emotive, these jewel-like paintings resonate and dominate space. The titles of Martin's works invite contemplation and emphasize their inherent narrative but their meaning is mutable.Jason Martin lives and works in London.
