James Kalm, no matter how sincere his intentions, for one reason or another always seems to end up getting into galleries just moments before closing time. This is fine, fewer visitors to film around, and less noise, but your correspondent constantly ends up in a race with the clock. “Inside Thoughts” the latest selection of paintings from Eddie Martinez, gives viewers, how ever hurried, a chance to observe examples of the work that has made Martinez one of today’s most talked about, and highly sought-after painters. These pictures depict the simple subjects of people, things, like flower bouquets, or cards, and tables which function as places where those things the people have collected are placed. These themes are painted using a vocabulary of Abstract Expressionist or Action Painting gesture, spray-can Street Art, with both bold colors and in some cases “white-out.” A knowing reference to recent painting precedents like the European Trans Avantgarde, and “Bad Painting” expands the aesthetic relevance of these works.
