“Not long ago people puzzled at my work or dismissed it as ‘digital cubism’,” says artist Marty McCorkle. “This painting revolution was out of step with our time. I hope that it still is.”
“I paint for younger generations with whom I can see eye to eye, but I’m glad to see my contemporaries purchase my paintings.”
McCorkle extends thanks Esteban Sabar, Berge Zobian of Gallery Z and Ricco Renzo Gallery for “taking a chance on this new vision of what painting can be.”
Marty McCorkle resides and paints in Western Samar, Philippines.
