About the Artist

Leigh Martin (Te Ati Haunui a Paparangi, Uenuku) is a New Zealand based painter who lives and works between Auckland, New Zealand and Karlsruhe, Germany. As an artist who works with self prescribed rhythmic frameworks to draw out the minutiae of painterly effects, Martin overlays his practice with research in the mechanics of sound. Using controlled, repetitive motions to pull paint across the paintings’ surfaces, Martin works to catch the impression of silken weaving that emerges through the relationship between the two mediums. Levelling the artist’s intervention to an even partnership between human actor and material elements, the residual sense of motion implied by Martin’s deep gestural palette rests in the surface of each work with a subtle vibrancy.
