Martyn Cross | My Assembled Selves | Flatland Projects

Hales is delighted to announce that Martyn Cross' solo exhibition, My Assembled Selves, is now on view at Flatland Projects, Bexhill-on-Sea, UK, through 5 November 2023.

 

Swelling clouds, aged turf and morphing figures populate the paintings and drawings of Martyn Cross. Within this presentation at Flatland Projects, personal, elemental and historic fragments assemble together, crafting a series of works which are untethered to any singular era, person or place. Anatomical and terrestrial matter is submerged in a celestial veil, as divisions between the eternal and the ephemeral are diluted by Cross. Witnessed collectively, a sense of estranged self-portraiture emerges from this engrossing brew, as divergent facets of psychology, ecology, fable and history collage within each work. Like encountering depictions of untold legends, each work possesses distinct sensorial kernels- even if the tableaux presented to us are unfamiliar or strange.
