TEW Galleries show for America Martin opens April 29th. America Martin is a Colombian-American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. This is her fifth solo show at TEW Galleries and one of seventy during the last nineteen years, adding to her ever-growing reputation as someone to be watched.

Martin’s desire to capture the essence of humanity and nature is central to her engaging work. To underscore how important it is, she refers to herself as a painting anthropologist. Nevertheless, she deals with the same problems that have obsessed painters throughout time—arresting movement, exploring the expressive potential of human form, and arranging bodies in space in novel ways.
