Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Homeward Bound the debut solo exhibition of Oakland-based artist Christopher Martin. Utilizing the visual vernacular of traditional American tattooing, Martin interweaves imagery from the African Diaspora, his own mythology and iconic navy tattoos to create bold banners and paintings.

Working across mediums including tattooing, textile and painting, each facet of Christopher Martin’s practice informs the others. Imagery commonly found in traditional sailor tattoos are prevalent influences for the current body of work featured in Homeward Bound. The history and superstition embedded in archetypical nautical motifs such as anchors, mermaids and animals are re-coded to reflect the history and stories of the African American experience.

The reclamation of cotton as a primary medium, applied in the large-scale tapestry works and the fiber based paintings on paper, reflect the Atlantic slave trade and the artist’s North Carolina roots. Steeped in Southern and Black history, Christopher Martin’s work layers the confrontation of contemporary injustice and folkloric storytelling to create a new lexicon for black culture.

My work covers a range of content. I am inspired by religion, sex, garbage, beauty, love, time, systems, activities, nature and the weather. I usually twist these elements together to assemble something I hadn’t expected or seen. I suppose that makes it abstract with a twist. Belief systems usually unravel if you look at them to closely. I like to look closely. That is a starting place. Apply it to a set of circumstances to complicate the issue and let curiosity and suspicion finish the job. It should be pretty.
