We’ve been keeping mum for two years now, so believe us when we say it is with great pride we present Eddie Martinez’s solo show “New Paintings 2”, opening March 20 at Loyal in Stockholm. For this exhibition Eddie presents 11 new paintings installed on two floors at the gallery in Stockholm.
The exhibition title “New Paintings 2” is a nod to Martinez’s 2008 solo show at Loyal titled “New Paintings”. And with that “2” Eddie illustrates what all the texts written about him over his 15 year career try to do, but never in so few words. In the 2 is Eddie’s attention to detail. It’s his attention to the viewer’s attention. It says the only other way to say it would be a drawn out version. It acknowledges that time plays a part when you gather and connect. It says that the continuum is important. It leans on the viewers to grow with the time. It’s the fast way to say the most. It brings you right to the point right away. And I think of all of that.
And to keep a nod going for 13 years is attention to details and acknowledging continuation of bonds formed and bonds kept.
