POLYCHROMATIC POINTILLISM - Working with an unprecedented technique of dots and with the CMYK color palette, the artist simulates the results of graphic printing with acrylic paint on canvas. By using the combination of ink dots in the colors; cyan, magenta, yellow and black, Joe Martins shapes all other colors and produces effects similar to offset printing on paper.
THE ARTIST USES TOOLS CREATED BY HIM TO BE ABLE TO PAINT THE POINTS, CALCULATE THE GEOMETRIC AND ACCURATE DISTANCES BETWEEN THEM. THE GABARITES THAT SPECIFY THE ANGLES TO APPLY THE POINTS OF EACH COLOR ALSO WAS DEVELOPED BY THE PAINTER
