Eddie Martinez
Eddie Martinez uses signature figurative elements combined with gestural, abstract blocks of color to create work that is energetic and has since applied this to printmaking. The artist draws inspiration from a wide-range of sources, spanning from popular urban culture to Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism.
Martinez was invited to work in the ULAE studios in 2018 where he completed his first edition Fine Arts (Black Out), a lithograph in 9 colors inspired by his painting Whitewash Fine Ants. Since then, Martinez has extensively explored making monotypes. His desire to work on monotypes stemmed from the immediacy of the results. By painting watercolor directly onto the clear plexi plate, Martinez is able to achieve the same effect of layering and energetic marks that is revealed within his canvases.

Brooklyn-based artist Eddie Martinez draws inspiration from a wide-range of sources, spanning from popular urban culture to Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism. Martinez's work joins together painting and drawing, abstraction and representation in non-traditional ways. Imbued with a sense of personal iconography, his practice often combines signature figurative elements, such as bug-eyed humans and eclectic headgear with gestural, abstract blocks of color. Energetic and raw, his paintings employ an aggressive use of color and texture with various combinations of oil, enamel, spray paint and collage elements on canvas. Martinez also produces large and small-scale abstract sculpture, made mostly from found materials such as rubber hoses, Styrofoam, cardboard, and metal scraps sourced from wherever the artist is working at the time.
