Martina Schmid's recent paintings evolve from an initial mark-making process that responds directly to formal impulses where the selection of palette tones is gleamed from various personal sources. The structures within the paintings evoke the spirit of Modernist ideology and the apparent aging of the surface mimics the remnants of historic works such as weathered murals.
