Born in Redfern, Brian Martin is a descendent of the Muruwari, Bundjalung and Kamilaroi peoples. His monumental charcoal drawings depict Country deeply significant to him. Methexical Countryscapes is composed in a thirty-part grid that diffracts the image and is drawn using the artist’s distinctive method of looking down on each panel. Each mark made on the paper elegantly and sensuously maps out the texture of Country specific to particular Indigenous peoples as he has experienced it.
