Eddie Martinez: 8 Fascinating Exhibitions to see in London During Frieze Week

Margaret Carrigan, Galerie Magazine, 5 October 2023

Timothy Taylor Gallery | “Eddie Martinez: Enough”

 

At Timothy Taylor’s Mayfair gallery, New York–based artist Eddie Martinez shows 9 large-scale new paintings. The artist’s gestural, semi-abstract style has often been likened to 20th century greats like Willem de Kooning and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but what sets Martinez apart is his self-referential practice, which builds on motifs from his previous works. In keeping with this penchant for iteration, the artist has also created an immersive installation for Timothy Taylor’s Frieze booth. Curated by Claire Gilman, Chief Curator of the Drawing Center in New York, the presentation will build on Martinez’s 2017 solo exhibition at that institution, wherein he mounted paintings over “wallpaper” composed of thousands of drawings pinned to the wall.
