The first important monograph on Chris Martin
Drawing on inspiration from Buddhism to Amy Winehouse, Chris Martin “lets the paintings make themselves” and creates bold abstract works that explore the unknowable psychological tendencies of art. His canvases are characterized by flat-yet-textured planes of saturated colour, and will often incorporate found materials and highly personal paper ephemera.
Chris Martin conceives painting as something intrinsically haptic that resolves from an intimately hands-on negotiation of materials.
