Art Jason Martin: Oceania

  • Closer_large

The title of UK painter Jason Martin's latest exhibition evokes the South Pacific's warm, breezy environs — but his abstract, mostly monochromatic oil-on-aluminum pieces are more about the ocean's spirit than its appearance. Martin's iridescent, large-scale waves of paint form mesmerizing curves, contours, and feathery folds that retain the markings of his whirling process. Light skitters across the surfaces of saturated, emotionally fraught colorscapes, evoking both the savor of a guilty pleasure and the capacity to send even the most reserved art snobs into fits of glee.
