Dani Marti was born in Barcelona in 1963, Spain and now lives and works in Sydney, Australia , Glasgow, Scotland and Barcelona , Catalonia .
My practice is stimulated by what I perceive as challenges within the act of
portrayal. I am fascinated by what lies behind the surface of the subject as
an essence to be grasped or sought after through attempting to re-present
it. The dialectic between the possibility and simultaneous hopelessness of
this endeavour emerges in the abstraction of large-scale woven works, and
videos that borrow from the language of documentary. The formal polarity
that exists between these ways of working is the terrain on which I am able
to examine how in approaching the physical and mediated surface of
information, alternate readings may be generated by the vi
Marti works globally across video, installation and public art. His unorthodox woven
and filmic works turns to wider notions of portraiture and sexuality in Modernism,
Minimalism, and geometric abstraction.
