About the Item

While the brushstroke motif has been embraced by Roy Lichtenstein to James Nares, Martiny takes a singular approach. Each smear of paint is full of flecks of multiple colors, giving the impression that they were created with massive paintbrushes. In actuality, he doesn’t use a paintbrush at all, or any other painting tool—he makes these works entirely by hand. To create the highly palpable textures, Martiny mixes polymers and pigments until he reaches a desirable viscosity and applies the mixture to sheets of aluminum. He once described his artistic practice as “a dance trapped in paint,” and his dynamic, gestural works are surely a testament to this active process.

Soninka
By Donald Martiny
Located in Westport, CT
Donald Martiny’s signature work is composed of dispersed pigment on aluminum. He creates immediately frozen brushstrokes that are made from his own movements. They are defined by the physicality of his body. Moving is an expression, just as is the color. The paintings are actual authentic gestures. Once completed, they look like relief on the wall. The artist is represented by galleries in Europe, the US and Australia. Additionally, his work is in the permanent collections of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA; the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, TX; the Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA; the FWMoA, Fort Wayne, IN and the Lamborghini Museum in Bologna, Italy. In 2015 Martiny received a commission from the Durst Organization to create two monumental paintings that are permanently installed in the lobby of One World Trade Center in New York City. His work is in numerous collections, including: Graham Gund Family Foundation (Cambridge, MA); Patrick Duffy (Chairman, Las Vegas Art...
