MARTIN BASHER

Martin Basher’s painting and sculptural work is situated in the lineage of display-based artistic practices. Working with the languages of retail and advertising, Basher explores the emotional charge of common objects and images. From his trademark paintings of gradated stripes and photo-real beaches to sculptural installations serving as displays for consumer goods, Basher activates spaces of sublimated psychological desire, at once familiar and strange for the altered retail scenarios they present. In these complex displays, Basher invokes unspoken drives, and the mundane and exclusive, the highbrow and lowbrow, and the public and private impulses that inform us as consuming individuals.

Martin Basher (B. 1979, Wellington, New Zealand) received both his Bachelor's of Fine Art and MFA from Columbia University, New York. His work has been included in numerous Group Exhibitions including: Tracy Williams Gallery, New York, NY; Brand New Gallery, Milan IT; 179 Canal, New York, NY; and Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA. Most recently Basher has been the subject of Solo Exhibitions at Starkwhite, Aukland, NZ and Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA. His work is included in numerous Public and Private Collections. Basher Lives and works in New York, NY.
