MARTY BAPTIST
ECHOES AROUND THE SUN
Echoes Around The Sun is the gallery and pop-up shop of artist Marty Baptist. Baptist’s paintings are a mix of astute observations and out loud thoughts. His work has a dark sense of humour that he matches off against the everyday. Bus-stop graffiti and sgraffito meets ambiguous, elliptic text and symbolic imagery from the ancient and contemporary worlds. His sources are found in the underworld, chance encounters, late nights on the street, early mornings on the beach, overheard conversations, bar room chatter, confused situations and texts, online and on the phone.
