Jason Martin: Meta Physical

British artist Jason Martin's solo exhibition “Meta physical” (23 March-4 May 2019) at STPI in Singapore was the result of his residency at the Institute, during which he experimented with the techniques of embossed relief, paper pulp painting, and paper casting. Most works in the exhibition are monochromatic — black, white, red, neon green, and blue — as is characteristic of Martin's practice. In each work, the texture-heavy surface documents the artist's bodily movement in the process of its creation, an approach developed from his concern with the physical properties of his materials.
