Society has a way that forces us to think and choose only the extremes on each end of the spectrum. Left or right. Black or white. Darkness or light. Through day-to-day life, we are met with a series of intersections — paths crossed, decisions made, personal encounters. Choices on every front including faith, politics and how we treat others.

Every decision we make, regardless of how small, impacts not only ourselves and those around us, but in turn, they affect civilization as a whole. These intersections have sadly given birth to some of society’s most vile realities such as racial injustice and tension, nationalism, corruption and discrimination of all kinds.

This body of work is seen through my own lens and reflects the extremes of black and white and the shades of gray representing compromise and the hope for peaceful coexistence.

J. Kent Martin (b. 1967) is a Springfield Missouri-based artist noted for his abstract paintings influenced by the raw aesthetics of modern architecture and the charm of contemporary building structures. Pushing the boundaries of abstract expressionism, and having spent his entire working life in various aspects of the home furnishings industry, his body of work explores the relationship between a variety of mediums and techniques to create pieces that bridge the gaps between architecture, interior design, and fine art. J. is a passionate advocate for social justice and equality. Utilizing his ever-evolving art to ignite dialogues, J. hopes to engage his audience in conversations that could drive social change. His work can be found in private collections across the United States and Europe.
