Jason Martin

Country of residence United Kingdom

First and foremost a painter of monochromatic, sculptural abstraction, JM's drawing practice exists as an
ongoing, stand-alone research programme, through the exploration of strategic choreographed gestures. By
limiting himself to the simple activity of meandering liquid inks with set brush sizes across a surface, JM
attempts to surf the duality of intention and serendipity, where at points a method breaks and surprises.
Through his particular choice of materials, every nuance of their intense construction is revealed. The
resulting complex and detailed surface encourages a slow, analytical viewing experience, relating as much
to organic growth formations as to the didactic of their making. Senior artist perhaps best known outside the
UK. Solo show in Dusseldorf upcoming.
