A large painting of boxers — commissioned from the California artist AMERICA MARTIN — transitions from black to olive green, one of a small number of “almost neutral” colors Charette was comfortable using in the house. 

JoAnne Artman Gallery is pleased to present LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!, a solo exhibition of new works by America Martin.

JoAnne Artman Gallery is pleased to present COLORITO, an exhibition of new works by America Martin. A term usually applied to 16th-century Venetian painting where color is employed in a dominant manner, colorito, or ‘coloring’ was deemed fundamental to conceiving painted images charged with the look of life. America Martin’s modern interpretation includes not only judicious color application, but the vitality and vigor of the world around her as she continues her unmistakable aesthetic sensibility.
