CHRISTOPHER H. MARTIN

 
Chris' head shot 2016 BW.jpg

A self-taught artist, Martin coaxes layers of sheer pigment and water to achieve his vision ~ harnessing brushes, wind, heat, and gravity.

Describing his technique, of painting in reverse on acrylic panels, Christopher says, "Every layer of paint has a high influence on the one behind it as opposed to a flat covering stroke. It’s often around thirty layers of paint that fuse together."

Finding inspiration in nature has fueled his motivation. "When you observe the veining in a slab of marble, they are all inherently poetic and attuned to the laws of abstraction. Being surrounded by these natural masterpieces in Colorado is a constant source of inspiration.”
