More about this artwork

In the painting, colorful, abstract figures mesh together amidst a dynamic and vibrant composition. The dominant figures appear humanoid, with distorted, exaggerated features that add an expressionistic quality to the artwork. The background is constructed from pieces of maps and various forms of textural elements that suggest an urban environment, possibly hinting at layers of cultural or social commentary. Bright primary colors—reds, blues, and yellows—dominate the palette, partitioned by bold black lines that guide the eye across the canvas, creating a sense of interconnectedness among the elements and figures. Despite the abstract nature, there is a playful, almost cartoonish quality to the figures, giving the scene a lively, energetic feel. The inclusion of what appears to be a license plate with the words "NEW YORK POFICK THE EMPIRE STATE" introduces an additional layer of narrative or locale, anchoring the abstract with a touch of the familiar.

Artist

Martynas Ivinskas

Born Kaunas, Lithuania

Lives & works in Los Angeles, USA and Vilnius, Lithuania

“Martynas Ivinskas is not very concerned about form or the tools. This artist – which we can call a true libertarian of the art world – uses any means available at the given moment to create his art. This way the art was born on the jute coffee bags, on city maps – musicians and musical instruments who repeat, articulate and highlight the lines only seen by the artist, the streets of the cities we can one can lose himself. In addition to that he creates objects which are something between a sculpture, collage, a painting or a household item. To the beholder he offers an array of randomly scattered items, the fragmented reality. It is an organized chaos, objectified in his own, unique way. A sort of ‘whatever’ ” . Paulius Garbačiauskas
