First and foremost a painter of monochromatic, sculptural abstraction, Martin'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, Martin 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.
