Description

Dylan's artistic endeavors consistently delve into the intricate realms of human perception. His creations disrupt conventional expectations, skillfully manipulating light, space, and the optical nuances of glass. While deeply rooted in traditional glass-making techniques, Dylan is ceaselessly committed to unearthing innovative approaches to harness the full potential of the medium.

Notably, his hyper-realistic water bag sculptures defy the viewer's expectations, ingeniously playing with the boundaries between glass objects and seemingly mundane plastic bags filled with water. In his latest series, Dylan embarks on a journey into pop art, marking a departure from his previous palette. For the first time in several years, color becomes a protagonist in his artistic narrative.

The series introduces solid sculpted Pac-Man inspired ghosts and hyper-realistic water balloons. These creations, with their beguilingly simplistic design, draw the viewer in through their ethereal luminosity. Dylan's exploration of pop art not only expands the visual spectrum of his work but also invites a fresh perspective on the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics.

Presentation

Dylan's art often examines the boundaries of human perception. His work challenges the viewer's expectations through the manipulation of light, space, and the optical properties of glass. While influenced by traditional techniques in glass making, he constantly strives to discover novel approaches to exploit the material and create a lens to view the world afresh.

Dylan Martinez is originally from Stillwater, Minnesota. He received his Bachelor's of Science in broad field science at The University of Wisconsin-River Falls in 2008. In 2017, he received his MFA in glass, at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

Dylan is now running his own studio in White Salmon, WA in the scenic Columbia River Gorge where he continues to explore and push the boundaries of glass. His artwork has earned several awards of recognition and has been exhibited and collected both nationally and internationally.
