America Martin Solo Show at Wally Workman Gallery 2024
November 2-December 1, 2024

Of Columbian-American heritage, America is renowned for her robust works using form and figure. Inspired by mid-century masters deconstructing the figure, she uses concentrated line and flat color to create colossal, vibrant subjects appearing to barely be contained by the canvas. There is a joy and exuberance in their expression, "a universal truth" in their gesture. She moves instinctively across her canvases and fine papers with a sure brush. America's titles are a poetry unto themselves, and share her lovely fables of hope and humanity. She has devised a unique style of new modernity while incorporating lessons from indigenous cultures- her own Columbian roots an important component. Represented across the country and internationally collected, Martin continues to impress audiences with her exciting work.

LET THERE BE ART: America Martin featured in the home aided by Wally Workman Gallery

“On Saturday, December 3rd, Wally Workman Gallery will open their 10th solo show with renowned Los Angeles-based painter America Martin. The artist is inspired by form and figure as depicted by the Impressionists and Modernists of the early 20th century. A concentration on line and flat color reduces her subjects to their simplest forms and yet challenges our ideas of perception. Her confidence in mark making and gesture is clearly that of a dedicated and prolific artist. Represented across the country and internationally collected, Martin continues to impress audiences with her exciting work.
