Eddie Martinez

Eddie Martinez’s drawings and paintings are assemblages of reoccurring characters, objects, and motifs that loosely recreate everyday life into chaotic and exhilarating events. Having no formal training, Martinez relies on his instinctual practice of constant drawing, an obsessive recording of life that provides his oeuvre’s foundation. His paintings substantiate his visions in expanded scale and palette. For all, his process is vigorous, idiosyncratic, and self-assured, professing an outlook that is at turns genuine, optimistic, and hilarious.
