The ‘Remembrance’ painting (left) seems to be a bit of a ‘break-
through’ for the artist. It’s looser and with its unfinished appearance
(with area of the canvas or linen clearly left un-worked) gives the
work a look of ‘spontaneous painting’ and not a meticulous time
consuming realist photographic piece.
Many of the photo-real artworks seen today have a feeling of being
‘sanitized,’ (sic: without feelings or emotion). The ‘Remembrance’
painting by Martin does have a sense of emotion, space and time.
This work also holds the promise of future paintings with a life and an
energy that is imbued with empathy - To quote from a special feature
article from Tubes magazine...
“...there can be still life, in Still Life Paintings.”
