“J. Willott Gallery hosted an extremely successful and well-attended America Martin exhibition Nov. 24. A Colombian-American fine artist based in Los Angeles, Martin has expanded her well known painting and sculpture works to include new surprises in 3-dimensional art. As basis for her enigmatic works, America sites universal truth as inspiration for creating derivations in indigenous subject matter via the human form.

Martin’s work — and indeed her own personality — present a sense of enthusiasm and hope. While people are Martin’s primary subject, she does depict her artistry in abstract form. Color, texture, size, and shape all combine to present her signature work.

J. Willott Gallery opened in 2007 with a focus on museum-quality contemporary artwork from the country’s most accomplished artists. The gallery features a new 5,000-square-foot contemporary art space with 22-foot high ceilings, glass concrete floors, state-of-the-art lighting, and one of the region’s most highly regarded roster of artists.”

“AMERICA MARTIN is an internationally represented Colombian-American fine artist based in Los Angeles. America is a painter and a sculptor. The magnetic pull of Martin’s work is authentic, generated by both her ability to express a unique gesture that speaks to a universal truth (thus, we recognize it instantly) and her exceptional skill at rendering that truth via the human form. She pulls from the stylistic lessons of the classics and its derivations in indigenous subject matter, while redefining what it is to combine abstract and indigenous motifs.

Martin’s art and personality encapsulates a sense of enthusiasm and hope. While born in the USA, the roots of America’s Colombian heritage deeply influence her work. People are Martin’s dominant subject. They are large in size, vivacious and accessible, and seem to burst out of the limits of each canvas or sculpture. Within this pulsating interplay of color, texture, line, and shapes, there is always America’s signature expression that identifies each work as an America Martin.”
