JERRY B. MARTIN

On Discourse

In On Discourse, Jerry B. Martin revisits Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?, delivered at Barratt Junior High School. Using blue carbon paper, the artist transforms still frames from the speech into typewritten drawings that explore race, identity, and representation. The work draws attention to the contradictions within the idea of a “life’s blueprint,” asking how prescribed ideals and stereotypes shape the way we see ourselves and others.

Transcribed text on calligraphy paper
5 pieces, 42.5 × 32.5 cm each.

José Carlos Martinat — Field of Power.
Field of Power opened last Saturday — José Carlos Martinat's first exhibition in Houston and his second with Revólver Galería in the United States.
In Lima, parties paint campaign propaganda on any wall. Campaigns cover one another, the weather wears them down, people sick of them paint them out. From that chaos, Martinat extracts the walls and brings them into the gallery.
Each work is shown from both sides. On the front, the black field that covered the message — a surface you can read as abstract painting. On the back, the surviving letter. But scattered across the room, the letters no longer spell anything: the text wasn't destroyed, it became illegible once separated.
In a country with nine heads of state between 2016 and 2026, power doesn't change at the pace of its faces. These works speak to the fragility of public discourse and to the ways a system erases itself: each campaign covering the last so that, underneath, nothing has to change.
The title speaks to Houston's Rothko Chapel: where Rothko sought contemplation, Martinat finds politics.

JOSÉ CARLOS MARTINAT
Field of Power

Opening this Saturday, October 3, at Revolver Galería HTX.

In Field of Power, José Carlos Martinat transforms fragments of Lima’s urban walls into works that hold traces of political campaigns, erasure, and memory. The black-painted front and the surviving image on the reverse show how a message can be covered without fully disappearing.

The exhibition marks Martinat’s first solo presentation in Houston and his second solo exhibition with the gallery in the United States.

Ballads of light

Friday, August 14
7 PM

Well, what does it mean
Those lights?
I’m here to see those lights.

Arthur Russell & Allen Ginsberg

Inhabited by spectral figures, Vicente Grondona’s universe unfolds through landscapes of unsettling ambiguity. His characters seem suspended between emergence and disappearance, while horses, lovers, flowers, and forests resist any explicit narrative.

His painting enters into dialogue with Impressionism, academic painting, Pointillism, and naturalistic drawing, only to fracture them from within. Technical refinement gives way to a wild, almost shamanic search, where pigment, light, and gesture become instruments for invoking the invisible.

Grondona is also a singular sculptor. Working with charcoal, he transforms the residue of fire into primitive faces and bodies. The material preserves both the trace of the tree and the memory of its burning, giving rise to an archaeology of the present where the human figure emerges from darkness.

Across painting and sculpture, Grondona returns us to something elemental: the body, the landscape, fire, and the mysterious force of matter.

His work does not explain itself. It continues to pulse in the half-light.

Giancarlo Scaglia
Titán, 2025
Giancarlo Scaglia
Copper pigment and oxide on Japanese
paper.
68.9 in diameter

Titan takes its name from one of Saturn’s moons and
consists of a circular piece made from paper coated with copper pigment, temporarily installed on the abandoned island of El Frontón off the coast of Lima. Exposed to birds, salinity, wind, humidity, and atmospheric variations, the work was conceived to transform continuously through its interaction with the environment. Rather than representing landscape, Titan functions as an active surface of environmental inscription, where oxidation, erosion, and animal presence directly participate in the production of the
image. Between territorial intervention and ephemeral
objects, the piece establishes a simultaneously cosmic and terrestrial relationship between matter, time, and
perception.

Derrida’s Royal Road Test, 2019-2025
34 typeset drawings on paper, text transcription
through carbon paper mediation on rice paper.
Images: Royal Road Test. Ed Ruscha
Text: Copy, Archive, Signature, a conversation on
photography, Jacques Derrida
144 x 490 cm / 36 x 54.5 cm each (framed)

Derrida’s Royal Road Test begins with Royal Road Test (1967), Ed Ruscha’s work indirectly inspired by Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, in which a typewriter is thrown from a moving automobile and then meticulously documented across the desert landscape. If Kerouac transformed the highway into a symbol of freedom and transformation, Ruscha responded with a cold and demystified vision of the American journey: fragments,
evidence, and record.

Martin introduces a third voice into this chain of
references through Jacques Derrida and the typed
transcription of Copy, Archive, Signature: A Conversation on Photography. Through text, carbon paper, and solar exposure, he reconstructs scenes from Ruscha’s book as images eroded through repetition and material transfer. Where Ruscha found emptiness and dispersion, Martin reactivated persistence, memory, and meaning.

Destino Manifiesto from The Weight of the Land
Series, 2026
Lithographic ink on wall, texts. Processed through
INk 1.0 software
Variable Dimensions

Destino Manifiesto is produced with the amount of ink used in official documents that expanded the territory of the United States. The selected documents are four treaties and one bank check that gained the United States Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, Phillipines, Alaska, Florida, and Texas.
The measurement of ink is taken using INk 1.0, a software developed by the artist to calculate the area, volume and weight of the ink in manuscripts and printed documents from digitized images of the original documents. Through this work , ink—the historical technology of inscription, administration, and control—ceases to function as an invisible medium and acquires physical body.
