MARTIN WHATSON
Norway
Martin Whatson is a Norwegian artist whose work contrasts grayscale stencil figures with expressive, colourful marks. Butterflies, dancers and animals recur in compositions where carefully defined forms meet the visual energy of graffiti.
Working on walls, canvas and paper, he explores the relationship between delicacy and strength, restraint and spontaneity. Tags and calligraphic strokes may fill an entire figure or appear within a small detail, giving each image a tension between its structured foundation and painted surface.
