JoAnne Artman Gallery is proud to present, Seeing America by America Martin, an exhibition that investigates humanity, legacy, and change.

Emphasizing narration and the tales that emerge through gesture and contour, America Martin’s compositions always conjure a captivating story.

Offering a private glimpse into America Martin’s world of beauty and perennial optimism, the show is titled after both observing her an artist, and temporarily seeing the world through her unique perspective. Featuring her ongoing series, “I See Heroes Everywhere,” the works explore portraiture and the enduring narratives of influential leaders. Prioritizing the figure as a central focal point throughout her career, Martin’s imagery is allegorical, familiar, and above all, hopeful.

Inspired by the landscape of the human form, Martin’s style is distinguished by a command of line and
contour, making playful reference to both classic and indigenous art forms.
