"Nutcracker Audition" by Ned Martin
Original Painting $8300
Limited Edition Print Hand Signed and Numbered by the Artist $1800
Ned Martin's work operates on two different visual levels. From a distance, his paintings appear representational, almost photographic. But as the viewer approaches, the imagery breaks into expressive brushwork, fragmented shapes, textures and layers of color.
Ned has described his approach as abstract photorealism.
"Within a world of painting nothing, you are simultaneously painting everything" - Ned Martin
Located in Manhattan, Ned Martin's work touches on the subjects of nature and community, which are drawn from his childhood memories of rural Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland. Martin's work is a commentary on global society, and the idea that everything is connected as one.
After studying Fine Arts at Towson State University, Martin continued his formal training at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Embracing his training and his meticulous process, Martin grinds his own paints. he has painted en plain air on the River Seine in Paris, Scotland, Italy and Bolivia, all of which has shaped his artistic vision.
