What if?, 2022
Here’s a look into Moyo’s innerworld of art.
Cultural and personal iconography narrate each painting in Móyòsóré Martins: Seen, the second solo exhibit for the New York-based Nigerian artist since he migrated to the US in 2015 to pursue his dreams as a professional artist. The show features fifteen powerful paintings in Martins’ heavily-layered, deconstructed, abstract, and figurative style.
Beyond here, 2019
As it should be, 2022
In Móyòsóré Martins: Seen, eyes from his past, present, and future keep watch on the young artist reminding him of his responsibility to both his native land and the future.
“Móyòsóré Martins exalts the tradition of the Abstract Expressionist painters—the beginning. Figurative and conceptualist elements then take the stage. Hatching, hard-handed distress brings the work together in harmony and depth—Móyòsóré’s own total.”
