Christopher Martin

Christopher Martin is a multifaceted artist, transcending the boundaries of his studio and installation art practices. His creative endeavors extend across various disciplines, including sewing, sculpture, poetry, tattoo artistry, and musical production, to name a few. Stylistically and thematically, he seamlessly integrates these mediums, forging a cohesive narrative. His design philosophy embodies the principle of minimalism, characterized by simple yet impactful black and white palettes, where words and imagery are reduced to their essential cores. Despite its simplicity, his work exudes a profound lyricism that ranges from hopeful to melancholic, leaving a lasting and powerful impact that speaks of the African Diaspora.

He has been awarded the first ever Artist-In-Residence from the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD AIR 2018), Inaugural Artist for ICA San Francisco Museum (2022), along with lectures both in the United States and Internationally.
