Orion Martin, AQ Alumnus, in Exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC

Orion Martin, an AQ Visual Fine Arts alumnus, SRHS Class of 2006, is included in a new group show at the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. The exhibition, Flatlands, brings together paintings by five emerging artists, from January 14 through April 17, 2016. According to the Whitney’s curatorial notes, the works conjure a sense of space that is dimensionless and airless, like the illusionistic scenery flats used on stage and movie sets.

The subject matter includes objects, bodies and places that are based on reality, yet exaggerated, re-contextualized, simplified or flattened. The paintings in Flatlands invite the viewer to reflect on the polarity and ambivalence of contemporary life, the uncertainty of our sociopolitical moment and the seductive quality of consumerism and physical attraction. 

Orion was born in Sonoma, California and after leaving ArtQuest at SRHS, earned his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Solo exhibitions include Favorite Goods (Los Angeles) and Important Projects (Oakland) and group exhibitions at Secret Recipe (Los Angeles); Human Resources (Los Angeles); Manifest Exhibitions (Chicago); Horton Gallery (Berlin) and Bodega Gallery (Philadelphia). He lives and works in Los Angeles.

Photo above is Orion Martin’s Bakers Steak ( oil on canvas, 51 ó  x 35 ó  in.) and 
was featured as the signature image on the website for the “Flatlands” exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
