- How does it feel to start a new painting? Filmed in his Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio, artist Eddie Martinez starts a large new painting while taking a break to walk his French bulldog Franny in his graffiti-clad neighborhood. Surrounded by an abundance of recently completed paintings, Martinez refers to these compositions while working on a new seven-by-ten foot canvas. Martinez uses black spray paint to make a quick sketch before introducing larger fields of saturated color and developing a densely textured surface. Constantly moving and filling the studio's silence with his own whistling, he impatiently makes marks and scrapes off paint before it's had a chance to dry. Equating his very physical practice to that of a boxing ring, Martinez approaches his canvas like a fighter, rhythmically coming into contact and then stepping back from his opponent. Under his pet Franny's affectionate gaze, Martinez is satisfied by the painting's rapid progress at the end of the day, a testament to his ability to productively harness his anxiety and aggression in the studio.
Eddie Martinez (b. 1977, Groton, Connecticut) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Great art, cool pooch! A win win.
Nice work.
I love it - so spontaneous & free. ... But he's sanding without a mask - yikes!!!
Shouldn't he be wearing a dust-mask while operating that hand-sander?
IyaEarthseeds: ...guess we can consider him an anti-masker
Anyone with anything negative to say about this artist is revealing their true ignorance of abstract art. Read a book people; concerning the spiritual in art or maybe some of Robert Motherwell writings. You’re an amazing artist… keep it up!
arte huevon!
im glad you enjoy painting. for me, your efforts are somewhat diluted between the sketch, your hand-eye, and the canvas. the totem motif and the de kooning-isk paint application leave me wanting. yes, it's all right there, just like the lady sang, "is that all there is?" in 20,000 years will a digger find and cherish your diamond, will a child make a clubhouse, or will your efforts become landfill on a planet with 40 billion people?
great documentary serries, but this one was somekind of boring
Too slick and under-worked for me.
those things sound like opposites. Slick, Under worked
um conselho cara vai fazer outra coisa , porq ARTE é outra coisa não isso
Absolutely terrible.
I am all too tired of seeing artist with no contest, concept, and sloppy form. Just sick! I am loathed and disgusted, even nauseated.
hahaha!
well, you should either study about contemporary art or shut the fuck up.
your prickly disposition towards me wont change the fact that this artist's work is crappy. Not only am I studied, but I am practiced! Note that! you would subscribe to this sort of practice. try and acknowledge the other side of the argument. his work definitely does not elevate anyone's intellectual discourse. Admit it. It is mundane, and it resembles a lot of street art that we have seen in may cities around the world. except, it is on canvas. nothing special.
Then don't look at it, be nauseated elsewhere
Carl Euegene let's see your work mr perfect .
Derivitive.

pésimo pintor. Nada para ver, nada interesante, hasta el mismo se ve decepcionado de lo que hace.
pésimo comentario, nada interesante. te doy un consejo, andá a estudiar sobre arte.
oliver13deft que ridículo, te recomiendo que estudies algo de PINTURA para entender y diferenciar entre una verdadera propuesta y un guiño de supuesto "arte"
Excuse me buddy, but if you call yourself an artist you are 3000000000% wrong!!!!!
Right 👍
girl she's a basic painter
