THIS IS AMERICA

“As I went walking I saw a sign there…and on the sign it said “No Trespassing”…But on the
other side it didn’t say nothing…That side was made for you and me,” Woody Guthrie.
See the signs or, rather, signposts in America Martin’s new works emboldened by the
unexpected…the dangerous…the pleasurable. Paper collages direct you to the open
highway in Vroom…America speaks: “Feel only the boxing wind”…Oil and acrylic provide
sensual delight in Red Woman…Blue Woman…Red, White or Blue… Each expression and
impression tells us something about ourselves textually, visually, and
artistically…Open

Please join us as we celebrate Colombian American Painter America Martin showcasing
new works in both; oils and acrylics as well as mixed materials. America’s artistry in
motion and content spills over her canvases. Visually stimulating and emotionally
penetrating, America delivers her most powerful works to date.

AMERICA MARTIN (b. 1980, Los Angeles, California) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
America Martin’s work will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize. With visual perceptions always changing, peek behind the stories told and you’re sure to find the right artistic expression!
