John Martin is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied
under the tutelage of Richard Diebenkorn, the famous Abstract Expressionist.
John studied art at an exciting time when the "Bay Area Figurative Movement"
was prevalent. John's oeuvre consists of figurative, biomorphic forms, and mid
to later works of Abstract Expressionism, which also includes color-field
painting, geometric abstraction, and aerial landscapes. John, like his mentor
Richard Diebenkorn, vacillated between figurative abstraction and abstract
expressionism, the latter being the main emphasis of his work from the mid
1980's to present. John discovered that the spontaneous and subconscious
nature of abstract expressionism coupled with the absence of figures, best
put forth the story of his euphoric and at other times turbulent life. John's
work is not political, nor does it represent any opinion with regard to social
events, but is merely emotionally driven with a tremendous influence of
nature, both in its subject matter and palette.

"To me nature is a constant reminder of the connection
between man and nature. Nature is a gift that has been
given to all of us, and some of my most beautiful palettes
are derivatives from sunsets, rocks and the ocean. When
I paint, I leave this world and I am at peace, letting the
emotions flow from my heart to my hands."
