About the artwork

BUFLY, Study of Study (pic in pic), created in 2022 by Eddie Martinez, is a color lithograph on Velin d'Arches 300 g paper, edited to 60 copies and published by Edition Copenhagen, in 87 x 69 cm format. The work transposes the artist's characteristic pictorial energy into the print medium, through a composition built on an image-within-image principle that introduces a reflexive dimension. Organic forms with strong black outlines are articulated with intense chromatic flat tints, while a horizontal red band visually structures the whole and creates a central tension. The quality of the print restores the spontaneous gesturality and color density characteristic of Martinez's pictorial practice, while benefiting from the technical know-how of the Edition Copenhagen workshop.

Expert opinion

BUFLY, Study of Study (pic in pic) illustrates Eddie Martinez's ability to oscillate between abstraction and figuration, in an immediately identifiable visual language. The mise en abyme effect suggested by the title and framed structure is part of a reflection on the creative process itself - the study becoming an autonomous subject. The limited edition of 60, relatively small for a contemporary lithograph, reinforces the interest of this piece within the artist's published body of work. The collaboration with Edition Copenhagen guarantees a level of technical execution in line with the demands of the international contemporary print market. This work represents a relevant entry into Martinez's world for collectors wishing to acquire a work representative of his formal dynamics, while benefiting from an edited format, more accessible than his single paintings, but retaining the gestural intensity and chromatic complexity that characterize his work.

About the artist

Eddie Martinez is an American artist born in Connecticut in 1977, renowned for his energetic pictorial practice at the crossroads of abstraction and figuration. His work is characterized by assertive gesturality, powerful black outlines and intense chromatic flat tints that structure dynamic, spontaneous compositions. Influenced by abstract expressionism, graffiti and certain modernist traditions, Martinez develops an immediately identifiable visual vocabulary in which organic forms, stylized figures and almost totemic elements cohabit in a dense pictorial space. His painting is based on a balance between instinct and construction, revealing the traces of the creative process and the materiality of the surface. Over the years, he has exhibited in numerous international galleries and institutions, and his work features in major public and private collections, confirming his place as one of the most dynamic contemporary artists of his generation.
