Donald Martiny is interested in allowing gesture to escape from the traditional rectangular support and realize its potential in relation to architectural space. Each piece encourages a dialogue between the viewer, the work, and the space contained within. The art of Donald Martiny exists somewhere between painting and sculpture. We are confronted with a singular brushstroke; huge; a seemingly spontaneous, lavish eruption of color and texture on the wall.
