Marcos Martinez on Tumblr (Spain)
Creative, inquisitive and retailer, Marcos Martinez is an artist living and working in Valencia, Spain. Dreamlike, disturbing and personal, his work invites us to plunge into an idealized world while disconcerting, where the past becomes the morning recovering old images from different areas, which become more important to treat them, decontextualized and extrapolate to the present. Please visit his Tumblr for more work. (Interview with artist by ARTchipel May-2012)

Conjuring his signature land of plentiful sweets, for the touchstone of this group of new works Cotton depicts Katy Perry as the reluctant queen of an imagined Utopia. In “Crown”, she stands before a palisade of pastel cakes, holding the headpiece as if wary of its obligations and consequences, realizing that a reign of opulence and profusion will inevitably conclude in decline and decay. - thru June 30
