SELF PORTRAIT
Bill
Martin ~ Self Portrait ~ Ink wash on paper ~ 8" x 10"
| "There
seem to be two distinct but compatible directions in my art. The first
is concerned with the depiction of imagined realities. The other is
the depiction of perceived realities. By observing the existing subjects
I am drawn to paint, I find new underlying currents in my own subconscious.
Thus in my art I explore the conscious, subconscious, and the intercommunication
between." ~ from an interview in the introduction to "Lost Legends" |
