Cameron Martin’s new paintings feature overlapping and undulating transparencies, patterns, and geometries in a vivid chromatic palette. These forms are meticulously applied to the canvas using techniques that intentionally complicate the distinction between the handmade and the mechanical. Martin’s new works incorporate both traditional and digital methods in his process of drawing and painting, to develop a hybrid visual system that negotiates methodical abstraction with improvisational representation.

Martin says: "'Mr.Mr.' came from an exchange I had with another artist where they were remarking on my regular use of pink, in which they seemed to catch themselves implying something about gender. Mr.Mr. seemed like a prankish kind of doubling down that stripped "Mr." of its original meaning, particularly in the context of the playfulness of the painting. Maybe something akin to camp. I also always thought the painting functioned a bit like a portrait, and naming the "figure" seemed somehow appropriate or appropriately absurd."
