Peter Martin Paints Dramatic and Profound Images in Contemporary German Art at Agora Gallery

Agora gallery presents peter martin in an exhibition of contemporary german art
 
March 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature German artist, Peter Martin, in its premier exhibition Contemporary German Art: The New York Experience.  The exhibition is scheduled to run from March 23, 2010 through April 13, 2010 (opening reception: Thursday, March 25, 2010).
Divinely spiritual figures loom out from an ashen darkness with piercing eyes. Lean, feminine figures in dynamic poses peer back at us unequivocally, splaying out graceful wings and sharpened horns. Yet, beneath their provocative posturing they exude a veiled benevolence and hope. Enter the world of visionary artist, Peter Martin, a painter who revels in the crossroads of divinity and evil, beauty and horror. His work is profoundly expressive, employing a fiery palette and dramatic stylization rooted in his early interest in Caravaggio. References to Sumerian, Greek, and Judeo-Christian lore abound. There is a raw, primeval quality to the works speaking not only of the supernatural but of ageless questions. "Must not one sometimes show evil in order to facilitate the good?" he implores. Martin works with mixed media or acrylic creating large artworks that loom over audiences, signifying power and unearthly experience. Martin has exhibited his distinctive breed of art in his native Austria, Germany, Poland and the United States. He resides in Linz, Austria.
