Description
The works in the exhibition are abstract in nature expressing political, environmental and social issues. At a time when incessant advertisements for various medications have become part of the din in our lives, Jean-Marie Martin emerges with a series of abstract paintings incorporating over-the-counter drugs. As with his most recent series of paintings made with toxic materials, Martin continues to demonstrate his concern for systems that both sustain and pollute us.Acknowledgements by David Aurandt and Jean-Marie Martin.
