Blindness Neon

To be perfectly honest, much of Javier Martin's work embodies what I don't like about contemporary art; an overly heavy handed message masked as something clever in which the medium (high end art) makes the message completely impotent.

But that's only to say that he does have quite a bit of work that I am enjoying. The Blindness Light series of neon portraits, this mixed collage series and this oil collage series are great,. Lots of simple compositions, great textures and, best of all, no heavy handed message.
