About The Work

Thursday Miles is part of a series of three 43" x 28" screenprints inspired by the recordings of four consecutive performances by Miles Davis at the legendary Fillmore East in 1970. Set against an abstract expressionistic background, the black records in this work are connected by a web of orange lines that form an ordered, geometric pattern. In the composition, Martin transforms the musical records into nodes in a computer-generated system, or cogs in a mechanical void.

About Chris Martin

Though abstract in composition, Chris Martin's works reflect a strong connection to the physical (and very social) world that he inhabits. Incorporating geometry and rhythmic patterns that relate to his memories and experiences of music, literature, film, and the natural world, his paintings and screenprints incorporate objects such as records, newspapers, and household supplies.

Often collaborating with performers, Martin claims that "the actual performing of a painting involves giving oneself over to a series of actions and trusting in the body and what the body knows." While he believes that artists should rely on what they know best as subject matter—in his case, favorite music or certain landscapes—he also challenges notions of static identity in his art. The resulting works defy limits. They are dazzling, disruptive proof that, as Martin says, "when we forget ourselves it's very exhilarating."

Even in his presentation, Martin makes his connection to the outside world explicit. In the 1970s and 80s, this connection was exemplified by his staged "happenings" with other artists and musicians. Most recently, he has taken to installing his paintings in non-traditional exhibitions spaces such as bus stops, nightclubs, and storefronts. At a 2005 exhibition at Sideshow in Williamsburg, Martin hung his large-scale canvases on the side of building where the gallery was located, and placed several on the gallery floor, thereby engaging the viewer to re-calibrate their experience with physical art objects.
