George Martin P.J was born in 1973 and trained in Thiruvanthapuram and Kolkata. This publication features recent works by the artist held at Vadehra Art Gallery, Okhla in the October of 2009. Martin has always ventured towards new mediums and possibilities. This body of work aims at deciphering certain assumptions about the visual language that is executed and ameliorated constantly by the artist. The assemblages look back at a reservoir of memories and images. Working with materials like vinyl, fiberglass, light, silicon and aluminum, Martin is interested in creating visual poetry. The images or forms that construe each works are quotidian in nature; like the airplane, the skull or the chicken. All of these are visual phrases feed the optic sphere of knowledge regularly in the media or otherwise. George Martin maneuvers the same images to stimulate new expressions and evoke a magical reality.
