polymer and pigment on aluminum, 62 x 31 in. central element, 25 x 14 in. element No. 2, 12 x 17 in. element No. 3
Medium: Polymer and pigment on aluminum Dimensions: 62 x 31 in. (central element), 25 x 14 in. (element No. 2), 12 x 17 in. Donald Martiny’s Milyan (2018) is a captivating sculptural painting that exemplifies his signature gestural abstraction. Created using polymer and pigment on aluminum, this multi-element composition features sweeping, fluid brushstrokes that extend beyond traditional canvas constraints, allowing the paint to exist as a free-form sculptural entity. Rendered in a rich, vibrant cobalt blue, Milyan evokes a sense of motion and energy, with its dynamic brushstrokes appearing as if suspended in mid-air. The segmentation of the piece into multiple elements enhances its spatial presence, engaging viewers with its interplay of movement, form, and negative space. The thick, textured surface of the pigment reflects Martiny’s process-driven approach, where the physicality of the brushstroke is as important as its visual impact. Martiny’s works are internationally recognized and included in prestigious collections, such as a permanent installation at One World Trade Center in New York. His innovative exploration of gesture, materiality, and scale continues to push the boundaries of contemporary abstraction.

In Juxtapose, Mr. Brainwash creates a dynamic fusion of street art, pop culture, and symbolic optimism. This silkscreen artwork with mixed media layers features two instantly recognizable figures: Charlie Chaplin, the iconic comedic actor known for bringing laughter during difficult times, and Albert Einstein, the legendary physicist and thinker. Chaplin is depicted holding a paint roller as if he has just contributed to the vibrant graffiti-filled background, while Einstein proudly holds a sign that reads, "Love is the Answer." The central pink heart behind them serves as a universal emblem of compassion, unity, and creativity.
The background is layered with colorful graffiti, including nods to Keith Haring’s bold lines, inspirational quotes like "Follow Your Dreams", and playful imagery like Mickey Mouse and a small dog with the word "Fragile" on its tag. These elements, characteristic of Mr. Brainwash’s signature style, seamlessly blend together to deliver a message about hope, resilience, and the interconnectedness of art and culture.
