Juan Ramón Martín, individual exhibition from january 10 till february 11 2012.

Extract from a letter to Iñigo Y.

From sometime back, in sculpture ather arts and in teaching, I am looking for concepts that have to do with precision, the intimate adjustments, exactitude and concision.

Sculpture is a the plastic discipline I have chosen to express a particular view of the world. A personal and intimate view. It makes me work hard all afternoons. I draw, read, design, solder, I compose pieces, return to draw trying to find -a difficult task- a language with which to express certain breath of things; a joyfull game where the process is almost always satisfactory.

The sculpture and architecture which interest me the most are produced within a very concise and containes geometry, whre rigour and exactitude play with the silence. The construction I propose for my works, has the need to produce extremely clean pieces, where all parts of the work justifies its position and size in an assembly that seems the most logical, the most rational; each part must occupy a precise space and must dialogue with the rest of the work and the light that surrounds it.

The work I show at Material Galería - sculptures, drawings and engravings - is a selection of pieces made in the last five years which express themselves in a pure geometry and collect from the tradition of precisionism, suprematism and the cold geometry.
