Event Description |
San Diego, California - Madison Gallery is excited to present Donald Martiny's latest exhibition, "Urpflanze", following his successful debut at the 59th Venice Biennale. Martiny delves into the emotionally charged themes of blue during the Romanticism era, where the blue flower represented desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. "Urpflanze" translates to 'original plant' in German, which refers to Martiny's interpretation of the blue flower.
Martiny's work explores the movement and progression of a sculptural brushstroke and abstract gesture, and his study of blues expands on these artistic ideas. He uses his artistic experience and masterful movements to represent this elusive blue flower in spontaneous ways, harmoniously working with the many tones and depths of blue. H.H. Boyesen described Martiny's interpretation of blue as "the deep and sacred longings of a poet's soul". |
