Donald Martiny, Leliali, 2018
polymer and pigment on aluminum, 79 x 50 in.
Donald Martiny – Leliali, 2018
Medium: Polymer and pigment on aluminum
Dimensions: 79 x 50 in.

Donald Martiny’s Leliali (2018) is a striking large-scale sculptural painting that redefines the boundaries of contemporary abstraction. Created with polymer and pigment on aluminum, this piece embodies Martiny’s signature gestural style, where sweeping, textured brushstrokes break free from the constraints of a traditional canvas. The work’s fluid, metallic-like surface captures both movement and materiality, emphasizing the artist’s physical engagement with his medium.

Rendered in a shimmering pewter tone, Leliali radiates light and dimensionality, enhancing its dynamic presence. The layered, curvilinear motion of the brushstroke creates a powerful visual impact, evoking a sense of energy and spontaneity while maintaining an elegant and refined aesthetic. Martiny’s process-driven approach allows paint to exist as a sculptural entity, frozen in time yet pulsating with vitality.

As an internationally celebrated artist, Donald Martiny has exhibited extensively, with his works included in prominent collections such as the One World Trade Center in New York. His innovative practice continues to challenge and expand the possibilities of contemporary painting and sculpture.

The dynamic, sweeping gesture of Leliali conveys a sense of movement frozen in time, capturing the immediacy of Martiny’s process. Rendered in a luminous pewter hue, the artwork interacts with light, emphasizing its fluid textures and multidimensional surface. The controlled spontaneity of this piece exemplifies Martiny’s ability to balance raw expression with refined materiality.
