Freestyle

A luscious, tactile surface defines Jason Martin's *Freestyle*, in which oil paint is applied to Perspex in sweeping, gestural strokes that reveal the physical energy of the artist's hand. The translucent support allows light to interact with the dense, ridged pigment, creating a dynamic interplay between depth and luminosity. The work exemplifies Martin's ongoing exploration of materiality, reducing painting to its most essential elements of mark, medium, and surface.
