Martin Sexton

Martin Sexton is known as a genuinely controversial artist whose work continues to divide opinion, absorbing, challenging and transforming the world around him; he is at odds with the current precept that it is impossible to produce anything original or authentic. He constantly refers to his work as "writing" and objects created to be "sculptural poems". Everything he produces is heavy with myth and inherent narrative.

Peter Lewis commented in the catalogue that accompanied his recent exhibit 'Go Between': '(the writer/curator) in the universal sense: going between things and peoples and 'arranging' new
configurations between art, love, politics and technology, enacted through indirect, often inexplicable chance encounters. The writer/curator Martin Sexton, like the philosopher, is also a
co-worker in the process of art, and can therefore be nominated. Art is, without doubt, certain of its task to initiate new discourses of the subject. But be aware Martin Sexton like the poet Pound has already 'Made it New'.
