Katy Martin est une artiste visuelle dont le travail combine peinture, photographie et per- formance. Elle réalise également des films et des vidéos. Katy s'intéresse de près à la peinture chinoise. Pour elle, c'est une façon d'ouvrir l'abstraction gestuelle. En 2008, grâce à Artists Exchange International, elle a été invitée par le Metropolitan Museum of Art à créer une nouvelle œuvre à partir d'un objet de sa collection. Elle a choisi "Fish and Rocks" du peintre chinois Bada Shanren, et elle a été influencée par son art depuis lors.

En outre, entre 1978 et 1981, elle a réalisé deux films sur Jasper Johns et le processus de sérigraphie.
L'art de Katy s'est développé comme une forme hybride où la peinture s'inscrit dans le contexte de la photographie, et où la performance permet l'acte de peindre.

Katy has an in-depth interest in Chinese painting. For her, it’s been a way to open up gestural abstraction. In 2008, through Artists Exchange International, Katy was invited by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create a new work based on an object in its collection. She chose “Fish and Rocks” by the Chinese painter, Bada Shanren, and she’s been influenced by his art ever since.

Also, between 1978-1981, she made two films about Jasper Johns and the silkscreen print process.
Katy’s art has developed as a hybrid form where painting takes place within the context of photography, and performance allows for the act of painting.
