Mojos, mandalas and divining tools: Chris Martin

"Double Frog Midnight" (2010) is reproduced from Skira's big, bold new Chris Martin survey — the first comprehensive monograph on this quietly influential Brooklyn-based artist. "Call him what you will," Glenn O'Brien writes. "Art is magic. Chris Martin is a magician. He creates mojos, mandalas and divining tools, the sort of art made to conjure. He's made a planetary annex and you can have one too. He's got the goods. Control panels for nature. He has been everywhere. He has seen everything. He has knowhow. He's got pizazz. He's got it going on. Chris Martin is the Dali Lama's favorite painter."
