kenneth martin

Using his intense creativity, kenneth martin creates boldly textural and exquisitely colored mixed media works on canvas that effectively communicate emotions through visual means.  Martin's works not only reflect his own inner psychology, but more importantly, elicit the feelings and thoughts of the viewer, allowing them to contemplate and experience their own deep emotions. This transference of emotion from artist, to canvas, to viewer, brings Martin's large and dramatic paintings to a decidedly more intimate realm, fostering for at least a brief moment, a quiet space of reflective sensitivity in our fast paced world.

Martin's sophisticated paintings initially appear as pure abstractions, but in fact, these works of Reflective Expressionism, are representational images of minute moments of time, the blurred images recorded in the mind's eye. These blurred visions convey a continuous energy, rather than a static moment, which reflects the artist's underlying optimism and forward-moving thought. Kenneth Martin lives, works, and exhibits in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
