Martes Bathori
March 10 - 28, 2007
Martes Bathori is a multiform artist working in Paris, France since the late 80’s. A sculptor, draughtsman, comix books author, Martes started recently to work on paintings: huge enlargements of small sketches taken during wandering in citys, a kind of nowadays blown-up reinterpretation of the Japanese woodblock landscape prints series from the Edo period, like Hiroshige’s famous hundred wiews of Edo.
Even if it has nothing to do with woodblock prints, the way the colors are screened and decomposed into a basic range of primary colors reminds one of the silkscreen prints or the pointillist execution of an ink printer. A tribute to a mechanical form of reproduction, but here, on the contrary, carefully painted with gouache on paper.
