“The artist is his work and no longer human”.
Pedro Martinez Marín experiments with the tension between chaos and control getting rid of boundaries and using unconventional materials in his art. It feels like he expands as if he wanted to discover a new beginning with a very personal language improvised and expressive, also linked to the very concept of modern civilization thrown into question. He folds the paint with brushstrokes, lines and stains that show a strong emotional content. This process is for Martinez Marín like a catharsis of life, a wild celebration of freedom.
“We can pull and haul and push and lift and drive,
We can print and plough and weave and heat and light,
We can run and race and swim and fly and dive,
We can see and hear and count and read and write !”
(From “The secret of the machines.” by Rudyard Kipling)
