PWVT – Series

Selected images from the PWVT series.

PWVT 1, the first of four images in the PWVT series by Will Martin. It’s a vertical abstract with a soft, smudged surface like pastel or oil. A luminous ivory arc curves from the upper left down toward the lower center and divides the picture into rounded, overlapping forms. On the left is a deep gray-violet sphere, and on the right a dusky plum mass. A smoky brown band runs down the right side. Small hot-pink marks are scattered across the darker areas like falling petals or points of light. A faint band of rainbow color glows at the lower left. It’s hard to tell whether the forms are planetary or cellular, and the image feels both like a body and like a landscape.

PWVT 2, the second of four images in the PWVT series by Will Martin. This version is the most luminous of the set. A smooth lavender sphere fills the lower left. Its edge is a bright white arc with a small blue glint where the light catches it. Rose and coral marks gather on the sphere like blossoms. At the upper right, dense crimson shapes tumble down through dark sepia shadow, like a flowering branch or a column of embers. The lower right opens into warm sand and beige, and a few orange flecks drift near the bottom edge. Soft focus and layered haze make it feel close and far away at the same time.

PWVT 3, the third of four images in the PWVT series by Will Martin. This is the driest, most weathered version, with a matte, chalky surface marked by fine scratches and dust-like specks. The sphere at the left has faded to a cool gray. A creamy arc, outlined by a thin dark line, runs across it. Saturated pink dabs, some round and some smeared, are spread unevenly across the picture. At the top center, a charcoal mass breaks into grainy speckles where it meets a cluster of pink. Long brown streaks fall down the right side into a pale, sandy ground. It looks like a fresco or an old photographic plate, as if the image has been worn back to its structure.

PWVT 4, the last of four images in the PWVT series by Will Martin. This version has the most movement. A soft lilac sphere sits at the lower left, its edge drawn as a fine dark line with a sheen of white light. The pink marks from the earlier images have stretched into slender, petal-like streaks. They stream diagonally out of a dark cloud at the upper right, as though caught in a gust. Swirling, feathery brushwork blurs the forms into one another, and an amber and orange glow rises from the lower left corner. The still arrangement of the earlier images turns here into wind, weather, or the flight of some living thing.
