For the 36th exhibition in San Francisco, we are proud to be showing new paintings by New York and Chapel Hill, NC-based artist Donald Martiny, works in polymer medium and dispersed pigment that form swaths of paint directly against the wall. Martiny extends the formal underpinnings of the radical or fundamental painting movement, foregoing traditional support altogether. Martiny’s high relief would suggest a hybrid form with sculpture, yet his working method and his conceptual focus ground these works firmly in the principles of painting. Martiny studied at the School of the Visual Arts and The Art Students League in New York, New York University and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work is in private collections in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Amsterdam, San Francisco and Los Angeles. He has an upcoming solo at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and is currently participating in the East Winf Biennial at the Courtauld Institute in London, along with Julie Mehretu, Br idget Riley and others. This is his second solo show with the gallery.
