“On some level, I am always a landscape painter. Even when I make what other people see as more severe abstract paintings, for me, the presence of a horizon line or line at the bottom establishes a ground and basic landscape orientation.” Chris Martin, 2014
Executed in oil, acrylic gel, and collage on canvas, this richly layered work by Chris Martin reveals his enduring preoccupation with landscape as both a physical and psychological orientation. Beneath its seemingly abstract surface lies an intuitive sense of ground and horizon, structural forces that anchor the composition and evoke the quiet vastness of open terrain. Martin's materially exuberant approach transforms the canvas into a field of accumulated sensation, where painting, texture, and found elements coexist in vibrant, meditative harmony.
