Jason Martin

About this book

"Over the last five years Jason Martin's paintings have undergone a transition from focusing on the internal spatial relationships in the material structure towards centering on the poetic resonances evoked from them, applying thematic titles to his exhibitions which have alluded to subjects external to the pure process of painting on which his work had relied previously. Within this there has been a movement away from a figurative interpretation of the illusory space opened up through the mark and its reflective qualities, instead relying on the physical substantive nature of the materials employed to invoke connotations referencing subjects outside what exists on the surface."--FAS website.
