Ron Martin (artist)

Ron Martin (born 1943)^[1] is a Canadian abstract painter. His way of generating his paintings by conceptually defined strategies differs from modernist abstraction, which seeks to enhance an artist's special aesthetic genius and craft skills.^[2] Martin works in series.

He is associated with a movement in Canadian art known as London Regionalism, which took place in the city of London, Ontario where he was born and grew up.^[1] Led by individuals such as Jack Chambers, the city was the home of the founding of Canadian Artists’ Representation in 1968. Other artists who lived in the city included Murray Favro.
