JAMES MARTIN | TAMING THE SQUARE MUSHROOM
FEBRUARY 1 - 24, 2024
Working primarily with gouache on brown paper, and sometimes additions such as ink, graphite, charcoal, or collage, James Martin’s figurative scenes are at first glance humorous, with a myriad of characters from parrots, fish, and monkeys to Shakespeare, Picasso, mermaids, and pilots. A closer read reveals how ingenious the artist is, often utilizing the most subtle visual word play, and veering headlong into topics that without his deft hand may feel weighty. Martin's exhibition Taming the Square Mushroom showcases the gallery's current collection, with over 100 works of art on display.
