Artist Profile
“Martynchik in particular, played a leading role in organising the Belarusian Underground Art in Minsk….”
Norton Dodge collection of the Soviet Underground Art (catalogue 1995)
Zimmerli Museum, New Jersey, USA
The underground existence was the only option for a creative person to survive as an artist at that time.
Originally from Belarus, Martynchik settled in London, after spending some time in Poland. His first exhibition in Paris is a revelation, as he has already found, at the same time his maturity (the height of his powers), his savoir-faire (know-how) and his own domain (Field, Province) which resembles no other. He paints endless canvases, whose every recess is covered with multiple colours, layered geometric shapes, with half – objects and small figures. The whole forms an inextricable tangle, as if our world were irremediably (incurably) destined for the dustbin or for a (traffic) jam from which it was no longer able to extricate (free) itself. The paintings can be viewed from all directions, as there is no longer high or low, north or south, nor beginning, nor boundary.

Paintings
“Using metaphor as a language, a sense of humour as a tool, imagination as a magic wand, I eventually arrived at visualizing the Divine World of ‘After Physics’, as defined by Aristotle.” W.M.
Light Sculptures
“…The collaboration between us had begun—I use GVA light units in my light sculptures and installations. Additionally, there is the largest collection of my artworks now in Toronto.” W.M..
Celestial Objects
The Visible or Phenomenal World is in tension with Invisible or Conceptual world. “I am convinced that all these properties and phenomena, visible and invisible, can find their visual expression in my art.” W.M.
Works on paper
“Intuition, curiosity, and metaphysical ambition brought me to the conclusion that art and philosophy could express the same content—the Divine.” W.M.

His paintings a seemingly chaotic assemblage of objects geometrical shapes, obey a rigorous order both in terms of composition and use of colour.
Each work can be perceived as a symphony, a painted piece of music. Concern with compositional precision and rhythm is derived by early abstract artists such as Kupka, Delaunay, Klee, and Kandinsky Chromatic choices are underpinned by a profound understanding of the theory of colours.
