ALFRED MARTINEZ
Thinking Occurences
March 4 - 29, 2014
Reception: Thursday, March 6,  6 -8 pm

ABOUT THE ARTIST  
Alfred Martinez is a mixed media painter, watercolorist and photographer. He has 
lived and worked in New York City for 38 years. In 1977 he held his first one-
person show at the 112 Green Street Space in Soho. That exhibit initiated his idea 
of painting on three-dimensional objects which was very novel in the early 70s. 
He credits that first solo show for solidifying his artistic vision. He has had 
numerous solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad since then and his 
work has been featured in many publications. In 2013 one of his works was 
aquired for inclusion in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of 
American Art.

ABOUT THE WORK  
Alfred Martinez paints on various tangible objects in order to communicate 
ideas. Painting on satin or vinyl canvases with laminated photos and attached 
objects like painted wicker baskets, or embedding audio digital frames on the 
work's surface, is his normal process of expression. Alfred says, "My visual 
language conveys a subjective thinking which is real, wonderful and 
unexpected."
