Mapping the Necklace was joined last week by Venezuelan multimedia artist Cipriano Martinez, who explored both the urban and pastoral qualities of the Necklace Park concept itself to see where it overlapped with his own work.. Cipriano, who lives and works in the UK, is an innovative and iconoclastic landscape artist who explores chaos and resolution in equal parts.

“Weavings, patterns of nerves, mental projections prefiguring misleading ideas of possible maps – these are some of the resources Cipriano Martinez uses to draw a landscape. Nobody can encounter his work with an innocent gaze. All have a favorable prejudice that art always means something, because the lack of a name confounds, torments, and unhinges pure reason. “ Andres Isaac Santana. Artnexus. No 60. Volume 5. Year 2006.

We await Cipriano’s own notes on his visit…
