martin boyle
artist's statement
Martin Boyle produces work that is both playful and performative. He
re-presents mass produced quirky objects and packaging in multiple
forms to the viewer through video installation and sculptural pieces.
His work highlights a preoccupation with ideas of value, or lack off,
through his use of packaging and consumer goods.
Always preferring to understate his point, he creates a context where
the viewer requires time in order to view the work. Through subtle
manipulation or illusion he plays on our need for immediate
gratification, with expectation to reveal, to unfold, to expose.
