From Wally Workman Gallery:
“On Saturday, November 2nd, Wally Workman Gallery is excited to open their 11th solo show with Los Angeles-based painter America Martin. Of Columbian-American heritage, America is renowned for her robust works using form and figure. Inspired by mid-century masters deconstructing the figure, she uses concentrated line and flat color to create colossal, vibrant subjects appearing to barely be contained by the canvas. There is a joy and exuberance in their expression, “a universal truth” in their gesture. She moves instinctively across her canvases and fine papers with a sure brush. America’s titles are a poetry unto themselves, and share her lovely fables of hope and humanity. She has devised a unique style of new modernity while incorporating lessons from indigenous cultures- her own Columbian roots an important component. Represented across the country and internationally collected, Martin continues to impress audiences with her exciting work.
Established in 1980 and located in a 120 year old historic house, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent.
