Opening Reception Saturday, April 20, 6-9PM
Showing April 20 through May 27, 2013
A married couple of artists, Fine Line brings together the work they have created individually yet side by side. While their medium and styles differ, Martinez and Ording share in common many other things: their use of vivid color and bold lines, an art studio, and two young children.
Jet Martinez’s paintings reinterpret the Mexican folk art of Amate paintings, which depict birds and other animals surrounded by bright botanical scenery. Stylized in a flat, graphic manner, the use and application of color create vibrance and dimension – static imagery celebrating life at its most ecstatic. Martinez begins with a traditional rendering, then integrates his own visual language.
Kelly Ording’s works on hand-dyed paper blend organic and geometric shapes with exact lines, pairing intuitive and mathematical mark-making. She questions the singular object and its amplification through massive repetition, resulting in vivid ethereal landscapes. The pieces are as much about their creation process as the resulting imagery.
Martinez and Ording are both graduates of the San Francisco Art Institute, show their work internationally, and have shared an art studio for longer than they’ve been a couple. They have painted several public murals together, as well as individually. Martinez was the first artist-in-residence at Facebook Headquarters and serves as art director for the Clarion Alley Mural Project. Ording was recently awarded a commission to create a large-scale mosaic mural at the Pelaga Recreation Center in San Francisco.
