The Art of Rick Martinez
My work explores the relationship between Pre-raphaelite tenets and football chants.
With influences as diverse as Blake and John Cage, new synergies are manufactured from both explicit and implicit discourse.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the human condition. What starts out as triumph soon becomes debased into a hegemony of greed, leaving only a sense of failing and the possibility of a new understanding.
As spatial forms become reconfigured through boundaried and personal practice, the viewer is left with a testament to the limits of our world.

I have done many murals from large scale commercial to many different sizes of residential. I am able to go from concept to completion including fabrication. I am not limited to murals have painted many motorcycles, fine art canvases and t-shirts. I have done volunteer work with the non-profit organization Special Spaces Albuquerque for over five years.
