Scene VIII: José Jun Martínez, The Hymn of the Toads is a new body of work that continues the artist’s impassioned dig into the alphabet, archaeology and geology of painting. Taking inspiration from the artist’s homeland of Puerto Rico, Martínez dances with abstraction, celebrating yet challenging to our usual understanding of landscape. The eleven works presented in this Scene hum with colour and gesture, light and movement resulting in a sequence of succulent and saturated, spirited yet sensitive abstract surfaces that evince the glorious earth, mud, and dirt of both Nature (as subject) and Painting (as practice)
