Donald Martiny

Donald Martiny’s large scale brushstroke motif paintings suggest the gestural markings of paint applied directly to the wall – a tribute to the energetic motion of action painting.  To create these highly palpable textures, he mixes polymers with pigments and applies the mixture to sheets of aluminum, allowing the gesture to dictate the form.  He once described his practice as “a dance trapped in paint” and his dynamic works are a testament to his active process.
