Whether it is democratic elections or cultural fantasies, there is nothing to stop us from blowing up our minds in support of those puppets and group appeals. Our choices, or our own rights, liberation and freedom, are the key to modern life in a barbaric society.

These choices give leaders the ability to infect our minds, especially our own serious prejudices.Nature, the sea, and the freedom to imagine possibilities in color and form.

Artist Statement
● Jason Martin
艺术家自述
I knew I wanted to be an artist since I was a teenager, and I thought that painting was intuitive and natural, and then I felt that I belonged to the world of creation and practice.
我知道我想成为一名艺术家是从我青少年时代就开始了，我那时就觉得绘画直觉化而自然，那时我就觉得我属于那个创作和实践的世界。

Though the paintings’ creation is strongly based on the methodology of approach, Jason Martin seeks validation for his work from a more poetic instinct, allowing the viewer to form associations, directed by the form, texture and color of the work. The flow and varying intensity create a character indigenous to each piece, animating the tradition of monochrome and color field painting that stretches from Kasimir Malevich to Robert Ryman. Jason Martin in his solo exhibition at Lisson Gallery in London features paintings and a series of silver cast works that represent a new departure for the artist who, for over 20 years, has pursued a deeply personal investigation into painting.
Exhibition site
Executed mainly in palettes of white, grey and black, with a monochromatic approach further implied in the works’ titles through reference to formal names of paint, these works continue a long dialogue with Minimalism and seek to heighten the viewer’s sensitivity to subtle colour variation. A central movement of pigment horizontally traversing the image is common to all these works, forming a surface that is flanked above and below by negative space sculpted out of dense slabs of pigment, resembling terrains marked by topographical contours. In Martin’s series of silver cast works, paint is swapped in polished metal. In these works, sweeps of modeller’s paste are hand-sculpted and then plated in silver.
Like the oil paintings, they embody the dialectical oppositions that occur between sculpture and painting. Proving his immense value as an artist, Jason Martin constantly succeeds in creating artworks by using the same simple materials. With naught but a single color and the movement inscribed in it, his works are bound to take you on an emotional journey. Every work is ultimately created from a mixture of chance and, as such, cannot be reproduced.
