Eddie Martinez- Untiled

Massif Central Production - Limited art scarfs 

Eddie Martinez was born in 1977 in Groton Naval Base, Groton, Connecticut and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. 

Eddie Martinez’s work joins together painting and drawing, abstraction and representation in non-traditional ways.  Imbued with a sense of personal iconography, his practice often combines signature figurative elements, such as bug-eyed humans and eclectic headgear with gestural, abstract blocks of color.  Energetic and raw, his paintings employ an aggressive use of color and texture with various combinations of oil, enamel, spray paint and collage elements on canvas.  Martinez also produces large and small-scale abstract sculpture, made mostly from found materials such as rubber hoses, Styrofoam, cardboard, and metal scraps sourced from wherever the artist is working at the time. Eddie Martinez’s frenetic, bold, kaleidoscopic paintings draw from art historical traditions such as action painting, Neo-Expressionism, and the CoBrA movement. Martinez filters tenets from his aesthetic predecessors through coarse brushwork, a wide variety of media, and abstract forms and rhythms. His motifs often derive from popular culture and have included cartoonish ducks, skulls, and clowns. Having shown commercially in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Seoul, among other cities, Martinez has received growing institutional support with solo shows at the MOCAD and the Yuz Museum Shanghai. His work belongs in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of ART, National Gallery of AR,Bronx Museum of arts, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth,Perez Art Museum, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Long Museum, and the Yuz Museum, among others. Martinez’s canvases have sold for seven figures on the secondary market.
