These paintings and their NFTs were born out of my father’s proximity to a landmark—the Darwin Martin House, built by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. I am happy to represent my father’s artwork in this space.
About these pieces in his own words:
“I am fortunate to live practically around the corner from the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Darwin Martin House Complex, an historic house museum in Buffalo, New York. It is one of Wright’s outstanding examples of his Prairie School architectural style. I am pleased to offer these NFTs of my paintings depicting a view of the main house in the complex. The image is readily identifiable as the Darwin Martin house, but it is not just the overall exterior design of the house that inspires my paintings. It is also the geometric abstractions of Wright’s windows. The inspiration of his use of clear glass with touches of color enhanced with ribbons of black lines is apparent in my paintings of the house. Why should this inspire me? My own geometric inclinations are evident in many of my paintings.”
(Prints through my father's studio can be made exclusively for holders of the NFT. Contact me to make arrangements.)
