A vase of flowers becomes a vessel for colour, line and shape in a print by Eddie Martinez.

Martinez channels frenetic energy first through quick drawings in his sketchbook, and later as bold brushstrokes on canvas. He prefers the image to reveal itself. Rather than embedding a specific message, meanings are left open for others to imagine.

Scaffold is full of power and life, in keeping with the artist's rhythmic, dance-like approach to making art. The strong colours and sharp contrast of his original painting have been maintained in the edition with a precisely calibrated base print, three bespoke silkscreen layers and a matte varnish seal.

Artist Eddie Martinez in his studio in a grey sweatshirt covered in paint

Eddie Martinez2 collaborations"Think about it. Eddie Martinez is making visual poetry." These are the words of art historian Phyllis Tuchman, and she's spot on. Martinez's paintings and sculptures are a wild ride with the flow and energy of Beat poetry or Dada wordplay. His infectiously energetic brush strokes and full-on compositions (which he often repeats again and again in slightly different ways) have a physical rhythm to them – like poetry, music or dance. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this comes from the nature of his studio practice. The way he paints and sculpts is athletic. Up and about, singing and often talking to himself. The restless energy in his body needs a place to go, and that place is his art.
