K.OSS Contemporary Art is pleased to present a series of paintings by American Artist Lloyd Martin. The exhibit, "Monument,” features a collection of large-scale works that beautifully reflect the artist’s thematic, abstract compositions.

Martin uses color, visible brush strokes and layering to create formidable “monuments,” – built from geometric stacks or spaces connected by bars of subtle color. In his own words: “The iconography in these paintings suggest an archetype. I found a way to organize these bars that may suggest a volume, not in a three-dimensional sense but in as a presence in the picture plane. A confrontation with the viewer and the body, an image that has a familiarity, that I could will into existence.” Often described as Mondrian-esque, Martin’s paintings project a linear, geometrical quality as well as a subtle musicality. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Lloyd Martin has been the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, and his art career boasts decades of solo and group exhibitions around the country. His studio is located in North Providence, Rhode Island, and his Landfall Press series of prints belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The exhibition is postponed until further notice.
