Ross Martin

Ross uses the imposition of systems, sets of absolute rules, to dictate rhythmic forms. Layered across the these gridded systems are painterly improvisations and reactions.

Ross' paintings suggest an internal, poetic landscape; rhythmic, formalised and emotionally eloquent.

"It is intuitive and mature, in the sense that it is less an expression of somebody striving for perfection more somebody merely interested in expression itself and not in achieving something with it..."
