马丁·戈兰的绘画为人造情境和自然世界创造了一个交汇点。他试图在鲜活的形体与它们所处的环境之间开辟一个空间,在那里,绘画开始有了自己的生命,远离逻辑、理性和连贯性。在这个空间里,颜料的感官、不羁与情感潜力的物质存在感超越了图像本身与它的效力,在可见的边缘展现力量。马丁·戈兰的近期创作从表现出发,但积聚了点滴碎片、拼贴并置和无法调和的反差对比,打破了它们原本传递的假设认知。他关注意料之外的断裂与残缺,试图打破混乱与秩序、表面与实质的固定二元对立,在内部生态中求得生存。马丁·戈兰描绘的对象在持续不断的相互作用中展开、显现出来,它们千变万化,因为物质化的背景曲解了画面预设的意义。马丁·戈兰 Martin Golland

马丁·戈兰的创作过程是开放且非线性的,既不拘泥于自然主义,也不试图将世界还原为基本要素。这些作品既不重现风景,也不完全抽象,而是在回忆与梦境、期待与失落、怀旧与遗忘中营造出一个想象的空间,拥抱未知的一切。马丁·戈兰 Martin Golland, 景色 Vista

Martin Golland’s painting offer a meeting point between a built environment and the natural world. He seeks to open up a space between living forms and their contexts where painting begins to acquire a life of its own, at a distance from logic, reason, and coherence. Here, the material presence of paint’s sensuality, unruliness, and affective potential overtake the image and its efficacy, embodying forces at the edge of the visible.Though they begin in representation, this recent work is an accumulation of selected fragments, collaged juxtapositions, and non-reconciled contrasts that contaminate its presumptions. Attending to unexpected disjunction and the incomplete, Martin Golland attempt to trouble fixed dualities of chaos and order, surface and substance, to inhabit an interior geography. Unfolding and revealing themselves in constant interrelationship, His subjects are ever-changing, as the contexts of their materialization bend expected meanings.

Martin Golland’s open-ended and non-linear process of making does not adhere to naturalism or attempt to reduce the world to elemental essences. Neither landscapes nor abstractions proper, these works rely on making an imaginary space of recollection and dream, of anticipation and loss, of nostalgia and forgetfulness that welcomes the unknowable.
