\u201cSacred Masters, Sacred Monsters: Denizens of the Demonic Demagogue<\/a>,\u201d Solo exhibition by Jason Martin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pearl Lam Galleries Hong Kong<\/strong><\/a> (6\/F, Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong).  Mar 15, 2013 \u2013 Apr 10, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLush,\u201d \u201csensual,\u201d and \u201cgleaming\u201d come to mind when looking at Jason Martin\u2019s paintings. The artist very physically molds these turbulent, whirly surfaces with his hands, creating gestural forms that blur the distinction between the pictorial and the sculptural all the while highlighting the primacy of the medium itself. Whatever one sees in these wavy forms \u2014 glimpses of oceans and of rock formations or else visions of dreamscapes \u2014 what is also clear is that they forefront the traces of the temporal and the expressive presence of the artist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or is it all gesture? After all, the color is applied at the end, and the artist candidly admits there is little direct relationship between the color and the titles (in this case, dictators from around the world, though curiously not from China \u2014\u00a0one can only wonder at this lapse). Indeed, color appears to be an afterthought. At times, Martin\u2019s work can appear to veer into an almost-calligraphic practice, if one desires such a (mis)interpretation, but the artist himself is more concerned with the dialogue with the story of painting \u2014 the story of the line and of the trace, of the expression of the ephemeral, of the purity of forms. In reducing expression to color, shape, and texture, Martin\u2019s paintings are engaged with the lineage of expressionist techniques and sensorial expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin\u2019s search for purity and essence as well as his very modernist conceptions of the primitive feel a bit like outdated attempts at unmediated expression. In some ways, the pure pigments can even feel too \u201cloud\u201d while his very technically accomplished, attractively crowd-pleasing works sit in an Expressionist cul-de-sac (Rothko with a finish fetish?). Down-to-earth and personable, the artist readily admits his works are not \u201creally contemporary\u201d and rather modestly comments that \u201cIt\u2019s just a phase I\u2019m going through.\u201d Not the most serious, not the most ponderous, these paintings nevertheless sit seductively, exuding charm and sensuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
