EDDIE MARTINEZ'BLOCKHEAD STACK'

dscf4062
A master magician of wild colour and exuberant form, Eddie Martinez’s paintings seamlessly mix pure abstraction with bold figuration. For his latest collaboration with Case Studyo, Martinez presents a sculptural rendition of one his most iconic shapes; the infamous ‘Blockhead Stacks’. The blockheads made their first appearance in the artist’s work in 2005 and have been conjured up in many iterations.

The figures represent a concise synthesis of Martinez’s artistic practice; strikingly encapsulating the many aspects of his extensive universe. The are a powerful vessel that can hold a wide range of bold concepts; from primitively existential to deliberately sophisticated but always unmistakably Eddie Martinez.

“In retrospect I can see they were a direct response to my obsession wist Guston, particularly his masonry work. I have a distinct memory of visualizing a face merging into a Picasso skull disappearing into a Humpty Dumpty brick wall.” Eddie Martinez
