Artist Statement

Jesus Toro Martinez explores the expressive physical potential techniques in abstract expression. He begins by building up a thick layer of black tar mixed with self-made pigment over gessoed canvas. Using a variety of tools as well as his physicality to control the line weight, he then pulls the pigment away from the surface, leaving behind pure markings. The fine lines move fluidly throughout the canvas, creating negative space and a highly textual composition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
