Eddie Martinez’s frenetic, bold, kaleidoscopic paintings draw from art historical traditions such as action painting, Neo-Expressionism, and the CoBrA movement. Martinez filters tenets from his aesthetic predecessors through coarse brushwork, a wide variety of media, and abstract forms and rhythms. His motifs often derive from popular culture and have included cartoonish ducks, skulls, and clowns. Having shown commercially in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Seoul, among other cities, Martinez has received growing institutional support with solo shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and the Yuz Museum Shanghai. His work belongs in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Perez Art Museum, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Long Museum, and the Yuz Museum, among others. Martinez’s canvases have sold for seven figures on the secondary market.
