Field Notes:

Thick-loaded brushes or tools drag pigment so that ridges register one continuous gesture

Defining Moment:

The monochrome combed works where gloss and furrow catch light making surface perform like a moving sculpture

Martin built a world where brushstroke becomes object — pigment dragged into sculptural ridges that catch light.

His works reveal touch as dimensional structure.

Structural Focus

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Jason Martin’s work, this approach appears where viscous paint behavior determines surface form.

Surface & Structure

Surface and structure operate as a unified, interdependent system.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-Minimalism

Minimal systems loosen through process, material, and contingency.

Process Painting

Painting records action, time, and material behavior.
