Lot description

JULIAN MARTIN (born 1969) Untitled 2019 pastel on paper 37.5 x 28cm OTHER NOTES: Untitled is a beautiful example of Martin''s work—the abstract shapes floating on an olive-green background. Characterised by their rich surfaces, Julian Martin's pastel works make a unique visual statement. Methodical in his approach, he carefully works from photographs and arranged still life, deconstructing these references to create highly considered compositions. With his pastels evoking a strong bodily resonance, his work is a continuous reinterpretation of, and response to, form. Martin has been a regular studio artist at Arts Project Australia since 1988 and has held multiple solo shows at Arts Project Australia and been included in numerous group exhibitions. In 1994 Martin was a finalist in the Moët & Chandon Travelling Fellowship. His work is in numerous collections including City of Melbourne, Monash University Museum of Art and National Gallery of Victoria (as gifted by Stuart Purves). He is currently represented by Fleisher/Ollman, Philadelphia and Arts Project Australia, Melbourne.
