Jason Martin — Zero
Jason Martin

Zero

1999

A richly textured surface of acrylic paint sweeps across an aluminium ground, Jason Martin's signature gestural mark-making leaving behind ridges and furrows that catch and reflect light. The industrial coldness of the metal support contrasts with the visceral, physical presence of the paint, creating a dialogue between the mechanical and the handmade. *Zero* invites the viewer to contemplate both the raw materiality of its making and the quiet tension between absence and abundance.
