Donald Martiny, Nocoman, 2013
polymer and pigment on aluminum, 73 x 38 in.
Donald Martiny – Nocoman, 2013
Medium: Polymer and pigment on aluminum
Dimensions: 73 x 38 in.

Donald Martiny’s Nocoman (2013) is a striking example of contemporary gestural abstraction, where painting and sculpture merge into a singular expressive form. Created with polymer and pigment on aluminum, this large-scale sculptural painting liberates the brushstroke from the constraints of a traditional canvas, allowing it to exist as an independent, free-flowing gesture.

The soft, neutral-toned pigment of Nocoman enhances the fluidity and depth of the piece, capturing the immediacy of Martiny’s brushwork while emphasizing the physicality of the paint. The thick, sculptural texture creates an immersive presence, where movement and materiality take center stage. The sweeping arc of the form invites the viewer into an experience of motion suspended in time, embodying both spontaneity and precision.

Martiny’s works are included in prestigious collections worldwide, including a permanent installation at One World Trade Center in New York. His innovative approach continues to push the boundaries of abstraction, redefining how painting is perceived in contemporary art.
