Eddie Martinez: Sculptures

Publisher: Timothy Taylor Gallery
Publication Date: 2016
Binding: Hardcover
Edition: 1st 
Condition: New
Clothbound hardcover, 168 pgs. 9.75 x 12 in. Sealed, new. The publication, which features more than one hundred works made since 2013, includes an essay by Dr. Jon Wood, and was published to coincide with a presentation of major new bronze sculptures by the artist for Frieze London 2016. As with his paintings, the sculptures of Eddie Martinez are dynamic, colourful and bold explorations of abstract shape, line and form. In this, the first comprehensive survey of the artist s sculptural works to date, the eclectic range of materials he employs comes to the fore, with materials such as plaster, cardboard, wood, plastic and rubber (not to mention lobster traps, buoys and badminton rackets) reaching their apotheosis in exquisitely cast bronzes. Playful, energetic and exuberant, they are simultaneously lled with an equal sense of melancholy, nostalgia and humility.
